Is Xohm/Clear still up and running in Baltimore? It seems to have dropped off the Clear coverage map. And DC isn’t even among the cities listed as “coming soon.”

4G WiMiax services will be marketed under the Clear brand and also provided via Sprint. I’m told it’s happening this year. The fact that Overdrives are for sale here might suggest it’s coming sooner rather than later.

Everything I’ve seen recently indicates a 2010 launch. Kinda sad considering it was unofficially active since 2008.

An update here: despite others’ apparent success nearby, there is still no signal in D.C. around GWU. I had a strong signal from November to February, nothing since. Anybody have any new information about the official D.C. launch?

I’m in Columbia Heights, at 13th at Harvard Sts NW, and have had a continuous signal since I signed on with Xohm last November. I’m moving to Petworth soon and confirmed there’s a signal there, too, near the Petworth metro stop. I’ve also gotten a signal in Adams Morgan, downtown (15th and L) and Dupont Circle recently. So the towers are still working in the middle of DC.

I would love to know if anyone has seen the system come back to life in the DC Market as of yet. My main concern is Gaithersburg / Germantown MD. If anyone could whip out there USB / OC Card or Desk Modem and check for Signal Id be appreciative. I know that around the end of May it was off, but I figured with a “Tentative” 2010 launch discussed for DC “again” they have to bring the system back up relatively soon.

I have moved back to my Townhouse in Germantown from Moms in Bethesda and hate to have to startup a COMCAST acct again just for Internet. I am using Tmobile for my DATA and doing quite well with my Slingbox’s and Moms Cable with a bit of VuDu and Hulu (Nice Rhyme) on the side. WIMAX would make it perfect.
