Brazil Leads Lat-Am in Deployments, Connections and Demand for WiMAX and 3G Services
Signals Telecom Consulting has issued a commentary which notes that as from 2010 Brazil will account for the greatest number of WiMAX accesses in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, a position that it will keep in the medium term. Signals expects that the setting of regulations for the use of the 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands, plus the tendering of new bands, will provide a strong impulse to this technology in Brazil. Signals foresees the entry into the market of large-scale operators such as Telefónica (via TVA), which will use WiMAX to expand its area of operation outside Sao Paulo, and SKY (DirecTV), among others, which will join the current efforts being made by Embratel and Neovia. Signals expects that operators will carry out their own development to be able to add their own last mile. more

Opinion by Charice Wang and Raymond Yu, analysts at Ovum
On Monday, the Indian government finally gave the go-ahead for mobile virtual
network operators (mvnos) to enter the market. This follows a recommendation
back in August 2008 from India's regulator, the Telecom Regulatory Authority
of India (TRAI). The government is expected to release detailed guidelines for
mvno entrants soon. We believe this approval will benefit both existing MNOs and
new entrants.
