WiMax (Wireless Interoperability for microwave access) is a wireless digital communication system based on IEEE 802.16 standards. It can be used for transmitting data from a fixed station as well as a mobile station. It can provide wireless access upto 50 km for fixed stations and 15 km for the mobile ones.
Among the main uses of WiMax comes the internet connectivity for laptops. In a radius of upto 10 km WiMax can give access rates of upto 40Mbps per channel. In India(a south asian fast developing economy), WiMax network is being setup in Chennai, a city in south of India. This technology if spreads out to the entire country can benefit the 1 billion citizens of India, especially the villages of India where still for many using internet remains a dream.

Thanks for you cooperation with me until now.
If you don't mind, can you give some critics or advice to improve my blog.
Thanks.
its sound dumb...you did not say anything about how wimax will benefit your country's inhabitants...are indians really that smart? using computers so extinsively? it's a big question mark in everybody's head how wimax can benefit poor citizens...not they use it for gossiping, browsing youtube, reading newspaper...which is such a waste
Buddy sure Indians are smart. That can be seen by the restlessness of the people in the western world for their jobs being taken by their Indian counterparts because of the better standards they provide to the market especially the software market. Talking about the rural India, sure it will take time for a country that has been freed 60 years back to mobilize it entirely. But surely many steps have been taken that provide wimax to the rural India that can be accessed by them in groups.
