Encouraging investment: WiMAX forum president in Pakistan

Pakistan is the first country in world to have rolled out a nationwide WiMAX network, established by Wateen Telecom.

ISLAMABAD: Declan Byrne, President of WiMAX forum, the global body that certifies and promotes compatibility and interoperability of WiMAX products and services, recently visited Pakistan to meet with the regulator and government officials, says a press release. “My visit is not only aimed at convincing the government to bring more transparency in laws and market practices, but also to encourage WiMAX investors who are apparently hesitant in putting more capital in their businesses,” Byrne said. He suggested that WiMAX operators can partner with cellular companies to offer broadband services to cross-network users and boost their revenues. Pakistan is the first country in the world to have rolled out a nationwide WiMAX network, established by Wateen Telecom.
