Don't Overlook IPWireless

Email This Entry

Posted by John Yunker

There is much talk these days of Flarion's trial with Nextel and Intel's efforts to get every ISP from Seattle to Kent using WiMAX.

But let's not overlook IPWireless. They recently became the infrastructure of choice for a wireless broadband network in Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the fastest growing cellular markets in the world. And just because per capita income is low does not mean there are not plenty of people willing to pay a premium for wireless broadband. The irony of developing markets is that businesses and consumers have historically paid much more for access than people in developed markets, which means that any operator that can offer a competitvely priced form of access stands a good chance of success.
