Nextel has announced that they will test a high-speed wireless internet technology in the Washington, D.C. area. For at least six months, the test will take place in D.C., Arlington, Bethesda, Alexandria, and Reston but will not be commercially available.
"Nextel, which is expected to merge with Sprint Corp. later this summer, is testing the service over various devices, including laptops, desktops and handheld devices. The service, provided through San Bruno, Calif.-based IPWireless, will allow video streaming, online gaming and video conferencing; it is about as fast as cable modem service. The company plans to use airwaves in the 2.5 gigahertz frequency range, which are currently not used for cellular service."
