WiMAX in Pakistan

I promise I will get to Part 2 of the WiMAX at CES series, but in the meantime there’s news out today that Wateen Telecom out of Pakistan is purchasing 198,000 WiMAX consumer premise equipment (CPE) devices from Motorola. That’s not even on the same scale as Motorola cable modem shipments, but for a new technology, it’s not bad.

It’s also another indicator that the success of WiMAX is not dependent on the US market, though certainly Sprint’s deployments here are significant.
