Massive WiMax Network for India

An anonymous reader writes "Engadget reports that the largest Indian telecom company is planning to build a mobile WiMax network covering three states on the subcontinent capable of serving 250 million people. State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is leaning on Soma Networks to build the broadband-speed network in response to government requirement that 20 million broadband lines be in service by 2010." Meanwhile I can't even get cable. Maybe it's time to move to India.

Ok, now despite being Indian I hate it when you this statement is made. Do you WANT to do low end coding or do you want to work on the actualy design of your software/hardware system. The part that has been outsourced to india is this low quality back end donkey work that can essentially be done by any one who can type a hello world program if the code is shown to them(Yes, I am exagerating). Explain to me please if you would really want to be doing that sort of work rather than designing the app, or modifying the algo etc. If not well too bad I am sure you can come here and work for low pay we have it seems a promise of WiMax.

Wimax or infrastructure

I dunno, if someone said I had to choose between wimax and say, toilet paper, I'm going with toilet paper. (My sister recently went to India, and to her surprise, in most of India there is no toilet paper.)
