Sprint Nextel, which announced last summer that it would be using WiMAX technology to power its next-generation 4G wireless network, will be demonstrating WiMAX technology and applicaitons with its chosen equipment partners at next week's Consumer Electronics Show.

The CES show, which should provide techno-geeks and journalists with plenty of fodder for 2007, will launch next week with everything from flat-panel TVs to advanced wireless handsets and should have something for everyone I would think.

Sprint said that it will be demonstrating "true mobile WiMAX TV, blending multicast and unicast distribution on Sprint's upcoming 4G network." I can't wait to see that.
