Hi, my name is suizu. I’m japanese working for Intel. I’m really curious about Wimax breaking out in India, so do you have any insight about the timing that the goverment can decide on the allocation of spectrum for wimax operations? my assumption is that it would be in 2010 and the penetration would be around 2012.
Thanks,
Suizu
Further to my mail of 14.08.07 I was offered IPTV on trial by BSNL. The service is terrible & to add to your agony the wireless net access is not possible with the IPTV present in your system.
Guessed Right! I had to give up the trial. And now I find the Broadband service detoriated as the speed of downloading is 3/7 kb per sec. only.
Is this broadband or line modem working.
Interestingly, the service detoriates by Friday of the week & by Monday again
some how comes back.
I wonder the reason & can BSNL Calcutta please help to get this corrected.
