I think you guys (especially the rat) are missing the important point. Xohm was owned and controlled by Sprint. The new entity is a joint venture of which Sprint is merely one of several minority members - the JV is a new and DIFFERENT entity, controlled and managed in a different way.

The new entity is a joint venture of which Sprint is merely one of several minority members - the JV is a new and DIFFERENT entity, controlled and managed in a different way. In particular, CATV companies are calling some of the shots now. This is far from a mere renaming or a rebranding.
Since the JV is a new entity, all of the vendor contracts with Xohm (Sprint) for network buildouts, devices, etc., may but do not NECESSARILY transfer to the new entity. In other words, they may (or may not) have gone "poof". The brand name is definitely not being transferred, and is dead.

Like I said six months ago, Xohm is dead. It's intended to be Clear WiMax, TimeWarner WiMax, etc.
It should be apparent now too that the XOHM vendor contracts are in peril...

Well, duh, that's why the cable companies invested. Because they want to offer wired internet/wireless internet/and TV in a single package, just like the telecoms.
