I am talking about the last mile approach that will see the connectivity spread to rural areas through Open Access LTE network<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 11 July 2011 10:15, Francis Hook <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:francis.hook@gmail.com">francis.hook@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I guess "backhauling" it from the routes it passes through to rural areas is the next step (and of course propagating the last mile after that). <div>

I'd say for nationally <b>relevant</b> broadband, a greater chunk should be fixed (for education institutions, healthcare, govt, etc). Of course there will be pockets where Mobile BB will be relevant....but having said that, devices for fixed BB are more pervasive/accessible. <div>
<br></div><div>On a side note - while we have operators offering 3G, I'd be wary of calling that mobile BB if you can only get the service within major cities....and step down to EDGE outside the cities :-) Not quite mobile is it?</div>

I would suggest that we set Broadband as 1 Mbps, 256 Kbps is Edge, and a low limit would not help the country in attaining much in this age of video streaming and other data hungry applications
