It is perhaps not fair to single out Russia alone. WiMAX investment is happening in almost all countries in Asia, Europe and even Africa.No doubt it is partly due to the underdeveloped data infrastructure for which WiMAX provides a good overlay, but that is not all. Programs such as M-Taiwan and Eratach Argentina are setting examples. Tata Communications, one of the largest telecommunications companies in India has announced its intention to invest $500 million in WiMAX technologies.The other major players of WiMAX in India are Bharti Airtel, Sify, Aircel and BSNL. Amongst them they are investing over $ 2 Billion.Wateen in Pakistan has gone ahead with Mobile WiMAX.May be these investments look small compared to $ 5 billion promised by XOHM,but these are for real.
