Gartner Says India to Have 6.9 Million Mobile and Fixed WiMAX Connections by the End of 2011

Gartner, the leading global IT research and advisory firm, predicted in a recently published report that India will have 6.9 million mobile and fixed Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) connections by the end of 2011. Gartner cautioned that India will remain a niche market for this technology until 2009. Although the Indian government is strongly promoting WiMAX as a technology to connect the country with broadband services, the country-specific mobile broadband framework makes a nationwide rollout of WiMAX cost prohibitive.
