Wimax is definitively getting traction in Asia.
Malaysia’ Packet One is deploying a Wimax network, while YTL YMAX get ready to deploy too.
Taiwan’s government is also pushing Wimax deployments in-country to help Taiwanese handset and CPE vendors get more competitive worldwide.
Japan awarded licenses month ago, and Korea Wibro is commercial for a few years already.
Note that in most emerging markets, fixed line/broadband penetration is very small and wireless broadband is a more cost-effective way to provide Internet access.
