With the launch of Sprint’s first WiMax yesterday in Baltimore, subscribers will have free access to MyXohm, a Web portal that provides a variety of entertainment and location-based services. In a presentation provided by Sprint (NYSE: S), I was able to find out a little more about the site. Clearwire (NSDQ: CLWR), which is set to merge with Sprint’s Xohm division later this year, also plans to provide a portal to customers and has partnered with Google (NSDQ: GOOG), which will also become an investor in the combined company. You can imagine that Clearwire’s portal will look something like MyXohm, which has several tabs, such as local and entertainment news and maps, but also provides mail, calendar and chat services (powered by Google). Also, a Xohm locker stores up to 5 GB of digital content, and Internet security is provided by McAfee.

Content partners: As previously announced, content partners for the site include uLocate Communications, which has access to restaurant reviews, news, events and weather through partners such as Yelp, Eventful, Topix, NAVTEQ (NYSE: NVT) and Accuweather, Topix, which aggregates local news. Also participating is Google for local search and maps; Openwave Systems (NSDQ: OPWV), which provides a location platform; and Autodesk.

Entertainment, News and Location Tabs: The portal has a few tabs, which are customizable and allows people to choose widgets that they want to appear on the page. On the entertainment page, content providers include: YouTube, Blinx, Rolling Stone, Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN) MP3, NPR Music; People magazine; TMZ and Miniclip. On the news tab, widgets include NPR, CNN, USA Today and Fox News, and the location page allows you to find businesses and events nearby based on your location, which is automatically detected on a map.
