Hi Guys

Tata Communications ( Earlier Tata VSNL ) has launched WIMAX, which is boon technology to India. Though Reliance couldnt roll it out in a successfull way.

It working great , i am using from about two months in bangalore.

They havent officially launched it though

Hope for the best

60Mbps for Japan. is that correct?

Bettering the current infrastructure is a better approach than investing in Research, the Development for which will happen only years later. But I think, working on both fronts will do more good in the times to come!

Major concern is the Cost and Connectivity. Most of the time i dont have net connection on Sat and Sunday.

As Tata introduced wireless USB internet, its connectivity is far slower than 64kbs line which they call broadband [according to TRAI 256kbs is the min to call broadband].

Most of the broadband ads are false marketing. and companies are not able to keep the pace of supply-demand equation.

It will take time more than expected to reach the estimated value.
