Current Status and Future Development of WiMAX in India: Policies, Industry, and Market
|
Abstract
With WiMAX subscriber base expected to reach 19 million by 2012 and WiMAX
equipment market value projected to top US$600 million eventually following
the auction of 2.3GHz and 2.5GHz licenses in the fourth quarter of 2009, the
Indian WiMAX market presents enormous business opportunities. This report
seeks to provide a comprehensive picture of WiMAX development in India,
focusing on the three aspects of policy, industry, and market. Topics include
India' s telecom and WiMAX spectrum licensing policies, as well as issues
related to WiMAX equipment certification; profile of the overall WiMAX
industry in India and current development of companies positioned throughout
the industry value chain; an overall sketch of the WiMAX subscriber market in
India and outline of Indian WiMAX carriers' current status and future
development.
