WiMAX in India: an assessment report ( http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=141605&rt=WiMAX-in-India-an-assessment.html ) which provides WiMAX has generated a lot of interest in India. Due to limited 3G spectrum and low broadband penetration, India is expected to be a key growth market for the technology. Many industry players believe that the allocation of broadband wireless access (BWA) spectrum to private sector operators, expected in 2Q10, will open up attractive opportunities for the technology in the country. However, our analysis suggests that WiMAX will only serve a niche market rather than dominating the field.
