Not just for the Internet

On: Pakistan Plans Mobile WiMax Network Rollout

WiMAX 802.16e isn't used just for Internet connectivity, but also competes against cellular technologies (GSM/UMTS and CDMA2000) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimax#Similar_technol ogies

While 802.16e is mainly a mobile technology, it also supports "Fixed" access and mesh networking, which means that signals can be relayed from one access point to another instead of needing to hardwire every connection.

This should help implementation and penetration of the region by reducing the overall amount of infrastructure required.
