BSNL is planning to offer wireless broadband services using WiMax technology in 1,000 cities across India. To this end, it will float a tender for 1,000 base transceivers, with a total value of Rs 4 billion to Rs 5 billion. BSNL is awaiting a final policy announcement by DoT on 3G spectrum and broadband wireless access. If the policy is announced in May, the PSU aims to finalise the tender by July 2007 and begin deployment by September 2007.
