Mobile WiMax

Cell or wireless phone has reached the remotest corners of the world and has revolutionize communications to many who would not have had access to land line phones. The challenge to most parts of the developing world is, however, the experience of using the Internet. Most access the Internet via Internet cafe's that are often crowded and the connectivities slow. One reason for the slowness is the inadequate and expensive bandwidth to the Telco networks.

WiMax is a technology that has been accepted by the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 or 3G, and will offer wireless broadband last-mile connectivities that will take Internet to most homes and businesses. This is exciting because VOIP, Telemedicine, or BPO, etc will be practical in many less developed economies.
