Wise broadband policies can create a win-win situation in developing countries
In the last few years, the subject of the global digital divide has received a lot of attention from the telecoms industry. Much of this interest has focused on the role that mobile networks are playing to narrow the divide, as mobile penetration rates in developing markets have been growing strongly, while those in mature markets have saturated.

Alvarion and Huawei have joined the Open Patent Alliance (OPA) - which manages the WiMAX patent pool.
