Description:
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL), India's largest telecom operator, after tasting concurrent success with its aggressive ADSL based wired and Wi-Fi based wireless broadband access initiatives is now aiming to cover larger areas using WiMAX.

BSNL will provide WiMax broadband wireless services in Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata and in the satellite towns of Delhi and Mumbai in 2006.

The state run company, which signed nearly a million broadband subscribers since January 2005 when it started offering broadband services, recently disrupted the broadband access market with aggressive rollout of Wi-Fi hot spots in 24 cities offering low tariff Wi-Fi access.

The telecom major is now planning to provide broadband wireless services using WiMax technology in Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai by next year and is setting up 10 base stations for commencing the trials.
