WiMax has been especially developed for the developing countries and also to help save on costs for Last MIle connectivity which is very costly involving laying of huge lengths of cables & fibre optics....so i guess the GoI would do its due diligence before doing the pricing wrong. The only problem i see is the pricing of the devices to be used for WiMax like the handsets...
 
well the fact remains... Reliance and VSNL (Tata) are both giants with access to shit load of bandwidth.

Bharti has more bandwidth than those two combined.

mgcarley somewhat stated that the ISPs were pushing him to do the needful. in other words, they could have refused to provide him with bandwidth if he would not comply...

More accurately, they are pushing us to reduce the UPLOAD speed only in order to avoid interfering with the leased-line market (in a nutshell). Everything else has been pretty much OK.
 
so essentially trai is reducing the costs for the isp who are not passing it to the customers? awesome.

Keep in mind the biggest reduction happened in 2006. It's been coming down slowly since then, just not as much.

You're probably seeing these reductions as an increase in speeds, rather than that of prices. Marginal although the increases per user may be, the amount of actual bandwidth usage as seen by the ISP is exponential.

Plus they probably have to buy bigger routers with Terabit+ fabrics instead of measly little 320 gbit/s ones.
