I believe the strategises that will be successful in India would most likely succeed in Kenya and East Africa. Hence a sharing of the strategises there would be quiet helpful. We here are stuck on the right strategy

Clearwire's Expedience technology is not the same as Mobile WiMAX based on 802.16e. It is completely proprietary technology. So I would ask them to see if you can switch to the Mobile WiMAX service which is sold under the brand "Clear". Clearwire us…

3G has significant challenges in the developing world

Please read the following articles that provide good insights on this. Overall 3G services and devices are proving too expensive in the developing countries. Also the lower speeds they offer, make bundling WiFi a must. So device vendors who have no bundled WiFi offering will suffer poor sales.

Lowcost or free VoIP over WIMAX + Prepaid cellular plans could help consumers save money

Imagine you have WiMAX coverage in most places you care about, but not all places. For mobile broadband data plans this may not be a big deal, considering the growth of the iPhones even when the 3G coverage has been poor.

Now consider the WiMAX operator offers low cost or free Voice over IP (Voice over the Internet) service when the subscriber has a Mobile WiMAX broadband data plan. The subscriber might be happy with the data coverage and the low cost voice offering, even though coverage is not… Continue

Fibre to the Home (FTTH) or Mobile WiMAX to the Home: Which is better?

Today many countries are implementing National Broadband plans, with the increasing realization that unless the digital economy is enabled with full access to all citizens to the Internet, the world's largest digital resource, they may become less competitive on the world stage.

There is a big rush to either install Fibre to the home (FTTH) solutions at extremely high prices. The ranges seem to be anywhere from $2500 per home to $800 per home, based on availability of Fibre or other connectivit… Continue

We have Licensed WIMAX / LTE in M.East, Africa and CRA, which will build backbone infrastructure across the each country ( seeking partners and investors ).



Our broadband is turning to Wimax / LTE infrastructure to stay globally competitive, where it holds approximately 3.5 Ghz spectrum assets. Our license offers pre-paid, post-paid and contract subscription and primary objective of the broadband plan is to make VoIP traffic and broadband Internet available to all cities, homes and businesses. In particular homes and businesses located in the city and rural areas based on WiMAX / LTE technology.



Our Wimax / LTE access networks will enable local operators to cost-effectively reach millions of new potential customers, and provide them with traditional voice and broadband data services that up to now have been denied.



Await your highly valued feedback in this regards.



Yours faithfully,



Hassan Alast
