India broadband

India will experience the greatest ever internet invasion ever in the next couple of years with wimax service by bsnl wimax covering the entire nation under its new plans which intend to cover the whole country under the wimax umbrella in the next year and a half. Its not just bsnl wimax which is going to provide wimax services in India but there is a bunch of service provider ready to roll out wimax service pretty soon. The ones I know of are Reliance wimax, sify wimax, mtnl wimax and a few others which have plans in the pipeline and some of them are applying for licenses at the moment. Reliance wimax has already been launched in Bangalore and Pune with plans for a Mumbai launch any time soon.

In India the wired form of delivering internet connection has not seen a lot of success mainly due to poor infrastructure unlike China where things are better planned for technology to come before hand.

I would really welcome this wimax intrusion in India internet market which will transform the lives of millions in the next two years.

   Bsnl the government run telecom company is planning on spending $750 million to roll out wimax on a very large scale which will cover the whole of India and will benefit the rural areas in a big way. The conventional wired broadband is not doing any good to the rural India as most of it still remains unconnected, Its just the gprs connections which are available in those areas which are very slow speed as we all know.

Bsnl wimax is going to bring a new broadband race in India with the whole of India capable of connecting to the internet without having to worry about cables or telephone lines.
