Introduction

Abstract

With a broadband penetration rate of around 2% and concentration of broadband users in the urban regions, development of broadband service in India has been relatively laggard compared with its thriving mobile communications market. Therefore, India' s DoT has been aggressive towards BWA spectrum auction, hoping to thereby boost the broadband service in the country. 2.3GHz and 2.5GHz licenses are about to be auctioned soon, while 700MHz and 3.4GHz - 3.7GHz are expected to be released in the future, too. This report analyzes India' s telecom and WiMAX spectrum licensing policies as well as issues related to WiMAX equipment certification, providing insight and guidance for equipment makers seeking to tap into the Indian market.
