Well its not quite Sprint WiMax yet. Its only offered through Clearwire as of yet. I was going to get one of the mobile setups from them, but they dont support Mac until August.

I wonder if it would work on my Macbook if i booted into Win 7....

WiMax (4G) should be in Atlanta. If you go to www.clear.com, you can check if it's available in your area. It is at my house, in Alpharetta. I want to test this out, and if it works well in my house, I'll dump Comcast, as I don't watch enough TV to justify paying them $150+/month for TV/Internet
