GREEN PACKET EYES WiMAX LICENCE IN THE REGION
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 (Bernama) -- Next generation mobile broadband networking solutions developer, Green Packet Bhd, is targeting to secure at least one new worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) licence from Southeast Asian countries within the next 12 months.
Indonesia, with the largest population, is expected to issue the licences by year-end or next year while Thailand and Vietnam had already issued the WiMAX licence, its group managing director and chief executive officer Puan ChanCheong said.
"All Southeast Asian countries have the potential to roll out WiMAX services and we are keen to explore more WiMAX licences," he told a mediabriefing on his company's second quarter financial results Thursday.
"We believe with the clear leadership in WiMAX service business in Malaysia, our chances of winning licences in other countries should be promising," he said, adding that Green Packet would also consider entering the market via jointventure.
"We are very serious and committed to continue investing in this long-termbusiness though we would suffer in the first few years," he said.
