It is my opinion that in order for WiMAX to gain popularity, the three largest mobile-subscriber-capacity countries in the world today, China, the US, and India, have to provide global interoperability in the same frequency range.I am borrowing the quote of Neil Armstrong where when landing on the moon he stated: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind", WiMAX in idia is that big step..

There is no doubt that WiMAX is the way forward, in case India needs to reach out to all of its population within the stipulated time frame, it needs to act now...

The Government's move to establish over one lakh community service centers would be the right approach for spreading broadband to rural areas

Telecommunications services in India are moving to the new generation networks, which is expected to provide affordable broadband connections with lots of features. WiMAX too, is expected to be an integral part of this transformation that would provide high bandwidth within long ranges from hot spots to serve the entire country by 2010...

However, it was felt during the WiMAX summit that for widespread use of WiMAX in India, the licensing regime needed some changes.

The dilemma for the government in handling spectrum is that it basically knows just two ways. One is that you auction out the spectrum. In India, you know what a terrible experience that is. Take the case of FM licences or basic services. The whole thing is a mess. The other way is a 'beauty contest'. You try and identify which are the better applications of technology and allocate spectrum to those. The problem here is that it becomes a total pull-and-push game of vested interests. And, you're expecting the government to play technology god, which is ridiculous in this day and age...

No doubt The opportunity for broadband exists and wireless broadband would be very predominant for India.

It's really Good to hear about Wi-Max. Already the hot spots are getting ready to offer their services to all areas of the Country. But I strongly feel that to penetrate the usage in India the pricing of End equipment to be lower. Of course this will become true when more customers are switched to this. As it happened with mobile phones oneday it will hazppen in this segment also. Thank u
