Sprint's WiMAX service is called Xohm (pronounced zoam). Could you tell people a bit about what they can expect, what cities it will be available in first and what they are going to get in general?

Sprint obviously is a carrier that provides second- and third-generation, if you will, voice and data services in 50 US states all across the country. Xohm is our fourth-generation offer that we were just talking about. We've done a soft launch in Washington DC, Baltimore and Chicago. Later we will do a full-scale commercial launch and then gradually begin to build it in other cities. With third generation, which are products like our Air card and smartphones that use high-speed data on your wireless phone and wireless devices. That is going to be a very good mobile Internet experience. WiMAX is just taking that to much faster speeds and many more applications. That will be rolled out over time, but those three cities I mentioned earlier are the ones that will have it first.

Now that we've wrapped up this week's news, let's learn a little bit more about the newsmaker. We drafted a standard set of questions for tech industry types like yourself. What was your first computer?

My first computer was actually an AT&T computer. AT&T had a joint venture with a company called Olivetti in Italy back in the early '80s. It was an IBM-style of computer. It was back in 1982 that I got my first computer.

What's your favorite gadget today?

I have got a few favorite gadgets. A gadget I use a lot is a combination super-audio CD and DVD audio player that I have in the house. I am an audiofile, and it is by far the highest-quality digital format that you can get there in sound systems. I use that with a pair of electro-static headphones because I am not allowed to play it in the house as loud as I would like.

What's your favorite Web site?

I have to admit I go to Google a lot for search.

Any favorite online or video games?

Unfortunately, my kids have the inside track on that. As a matter of fact, I am trying to limit their game time. They are gaming nuts. I actually kind of just watch over their shoulder. They go through phases, I have two boys, 9 and 12, and right now they are really enjoying WWE, which is wrestling.

If you could invent a new gadget, what would it be?

I'd probably invent a really high-fidelity, wireless headphone that you could possibly use with 4G. So get the same audio quality that I talked about with the super-audio CDs and DVD audio, but be able to hear that and get it almost off the air, whether it's satellite or through WiMAX, wirelessly -- but everywhere and at super high audio quality.
