Russian consortium BWDC-Metsanco has been granted a WiMax license from Peru’s Agency for Promotion of Private Investment (ProInversion). They won the license after being the only bidder with an offer just one dollar over the $3.9 million minimum.
In their first year BWDC-Metsanco will deploy 9,000 internet connections in 12 regions of Peru. They will then increase that number to 60,000 during the first 5 years while expanding the service nationwide.
BWDC-Metsanco’s license will last for 20 years and can be renewed by the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
BWDC-Metsanco are members of the Startel Group that provides wireless internet in Russia under the Yota brand.… Read the rest
Indian telecom company Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) is looking for global technology firms, or their Indian units, to sell its WiMax services. A revenue-sharing deal will allow state-owned MTNL to compete with private sector companies such as Bharti Airtel Ltd. and Vodafone Group Pic.
MTNL hopes a seven year agreement with a franchisee company for both Delhi and Mumbai will allow it to increase its market share. For each city, bidders must provide a performance guarantee deposit of 150 million rupees ($3.1 million) that is valid for at least 3 years.
Entering into MTNL’s agreement restricts franchisees from being a licensed telecom service provider in Delhi or Mumbai or entering into a similar contract with another telecom service provider. Franchisees also may not hold telecom licenses. The last day for bids is September 16. MTNL will select the final bidders on September 17.
“Marketing of these high-end (telecom) services is very important, and MTNL, as a government-owned company, has been lacking in it,” said an anonymous analyst in a recent Wall Street Journal article.
Fellow state-owned telecom operator, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) is also seeking bids from global firms for its WiMax services. Both companies have already been given radio bandwith from the government despite an auction for bandwith being held later this year.
MTNL wants to steadily increase its WiMax subscribers to 500,000 over the next 5 years.… Read the rest
