Another day, another report of WiMAX coverage spreading across the world!

4 major cities in Saudi Arabia are now covered by provider Mobily's "Broadband @ Home" WiMAX service. Unlike what we're used to with Sprint/Verizon et al, Mobily's WiMAX service is offered without a contract on a pre-paid basis, and they are giving away the modems for free during Ramadan!

We've seen a lot of progress in the way of service contracts as WiMAX rolls out around the globe - cheaper monthly pricing, free services - but will US operators like Sprint and Verizon follow suit?
