Press Release Summary: With completion of its standardization, global WiMAX market
is observing rapid growth in its subscriber base, with Asia-Pacific expected to
emerge as the largest subscriber base by 2010, says RNCOS.

Press Release Body: A new market research report, “Global WiMAX Market
Analysis”, by the leading market research firm RNCOS, says due to the
completion of WiMAX standardization, a rapid growth is being witnessed in the WiMAX
market globally over the past year. With this, the number of WiMAX subscribers
worldwide is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 102.75% from 2007 to 2010.

According to the report, North America is likely to have more subscribers in
comparison to other regions in the early phase of the forecasted period, while
Asia-Pacific is expected to outnumber the WiMAX subscribers of North America by the
end of the period.

The RNCOS research cites the combination of WiMAX cellular services and WiMAX fixed
services as important factor for the expansion of WiMAX subscribers in the
Asia-Pacific region. WiMAX mobile services will extend their reach from South Korea
to other developed economies like Japan and Australia, while fixed services will
continue to see deployment in key developing countries like China and India.

Moreover, the RNCOS report identifies the unavailability of wired infrastructure for
accessing Internet as a major growth driver for WiMAX in the Asia-Pacific region.
Also, government support and initiatives undertaken by the service providers to
provide Internet services in remote areas are playing significant role in the growth
of WiMAX penetration in this region.

Thus, by 2012, Asia-Pacific is expected to have about 49% of the total subscriber
base, making it the world’s largest WiMAX subscriber base, says the report.

Apart from subscribers in Asia-Pacific, the report also provides forecast on global
subscriber base, WiMAX equipment & service revenue, WiMAX infrastructure spending,
mobile broadband subscribers by technology, etc.

“Global WiMAX Market Analysis” is a detailed overview of WiMAX
technology, like IEEE 802.16 Standard, spectrum issues, spectral efficiency, current
market scenario, and future development. The report gives regional account of the
WiMAX market, covering major markets like North America, Eastern Europe, Middle East
& Africa, and Western Europe, among other. It examines worldwide deployment of WiMAX
and also emphasizes on operators and initiatives taken by them for WiMAX
development.
