High-speed Internet connectivity still is an elusive luxury for most Indians: with just over a million broadband subscribers in a country of more than one billion people, only the best off in the big cities can take advantage of it. But WiMax, the IEEE standard for wide area wireless broadband connectivity, could be coming to the rescue. It offers India the prospect of largely skipping connections to the Internet by the DSL links and ca- ble modems that are standard in so many other places.
A number of recent developments suggest that WiMax might offer the best answer to last-mile broadband connectivity in a country like India--or at least that lots of corporate leaders are thinking the same way. For example, Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (VSNL), a leading international telecom service provider headquartered in Mumbai, already has deployed WiMax infrastructure in 65 Indian cities, relying on equipment made by Aperto Networks, in Milpitas, Calif. Aperto is a leading developer
