Oops that was Wi-Fi not WiMax. Any difference between the two. Since MTNL is offering Wi-Fi for quite some time: *wifine.mtnl.net.in/

 

[shashank4u]

wimax is advanced version:
read out:
Wi-Fi (or Wi-fi, WiFi, Wifi, wifi), short for "Wireless Fidelity", is a set of product compatibility standards for wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. New standards beyond the 802.11 specifications, such as 802.16(WiMAX), are currently in the works and offer many enhancements, anywhere from longer range to greater transfer speeds.

Popular name of the 802.16 wireless metropolitan-area network standard that's currently being developed. WiMax, which will have a range of up to 31 miles, is primarily aimed at making broadband network access widely available without the expense of stringing wires (as in cable-access broadband) or the distance limitations of Digital Subscriber Line.

I meant MTNL's ad was of Wi-fi not WiMax. So MTNL has not rolled WiMax still.

Television Channels may be told to free bandwidth (in extended C-band) for WiMax

Television channels like Aaj Tak, Star Ananda, Maa TV and Kairali may soon have to go off the air.

This is because the government is considering allocating satellite services bandwidth on the Insat series for wireless services such as WiMax, in which case broadcasters will have to vacate the extended C-band.

Over 60 channels now broadcast on extended C-band transponders in the Insat series.

WiMax services enable consumers to access wireless broadband services in a radius of 20-22 km. However, the frequency used for WiMax services tend to interfere with the frequency range of C-band transponders that are being used by broadcasters.

“The largely unconsidered implications of the proposed rules by the government could be catastrophic for news broadcasters that use the lower end of the C-band spectrum,” said ST Davies, CEO, Cable & Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia.

Meanwhile, foreign satellite company IntelSat said India would face shortage in both C-band and Ku-band transponders in future.

Pune all set to be India's first 'unwired' city with Wimax

Taking a leap over Bangalore and Hyderabad, Pune will become the first Indian city to have a high-speed wireless Internet network even before the Centre's much-awaited spectrum policy is announced.
