TATA Indicom Broadband planning WiMAX rollout!!!

[AjoyEricLal]

Update :
TATA Guys tested signals at my place last week. Signals were no good
They will come back when they have better infrastructure. At present it is running on "borrowed" infrastructure from their cell operations.

Their CELL operations are poor too. I have this friend who is having a real tough time with them... low speeds entirely because they have oversold and their infrastructure is too weak to manage that many customers.

I believe that Huawei is managing something for them... not sure what?!

My intention is to get rid of middleman (cablewalla). They are the main source of instability.With Wireless, at least that wont be the case.

see other threads about reliance wimax unreliability. i hope tata does not suffer for your sake from rains, line of sight issues etc

Yaa that or enough ppl willing to spend money on Internet

This is what WiMAX should be. Not huge dishes and modems, just a simple laptop card. Its not ready for prime time yet. Maybe in 2009 India will be able to enjoy WiMAX although I'm sure the telcos will charge like its a luxury/corporate service.

See Clearwire releases first pre-WiMAX PC card for laptops - Engadget

Yeah. I doubt we will have WiMax at reasonable prices until 2011 atleast.

I have been on WiMax pilot for last 2 months... and it has been quite stable so far.OTOH, I still have LAN connection from TATA and that has been stable as well. Looks like they put some money in my area.Overall, I will suggest that you wait for sometime and get feedback from users in your area before committing money in advance.
