Govt. to hold Wimax tender

The government has said it will hold a tender to select the operators of broadband wireless access (BWA) of Wimax early October, Asia Pulse reported.

The operators will have frequency allocation at 3.GHz3 and 2.3 GHz, said Suhono, the chairman of the BWA Committee at the office of the state minister for communications and information.

Suhono said the draft regulation on the operation of BWA is expected to be available next month that tender could be held early the next month.

Wimax is a broadband wireless access technology with a speed of up to 70 megabit per second (Mbps) and with coverage of up to 50 km, the newspaper Investor Daily said.

Wonder who they awarded it too?

It was me actually Vipe. RH Wimax will be online in two weeks time. I've got all the equipment stored under my bed at the moment. Basically all you need is a diesel generator, some tin foil and a few rubber bands and you can set up your own broadband empire.

Well if i was a betting man I would have to predict the Bakrie name coming up!

He's not short of a few sheckels that's for sure. Lots 'o' money in mud.

RH Wimax, streaming nonstop "system files"

streaming being the operative word
