Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
A long awaited wireless broadband standard is set to take off in the US with leading WiMAX service provider Clearwire gaining Federal Communications Commission approval for its WiMAX-class laptop card.
WiMAX is a long distance wireless technology
enabling the delivery of broadband access as an alternative to cable
and DSL, as well as mobile broadband connectivity. Clearwire is the
largest WiMAX service provider in the US with nearly 200,000
subscribers, a relatively modest subscriber base which the company
hopes to expand with its new product.
"The FCC's approval of our laptop card is a significant milestone in
bringing to market a 'true broadband' wireless service with a device
that facilitates even greater portability than our existing modem
permits," said Perry Satterlee, Clearwire president and chief operating
officer. "We expect the new laptop card to broaden our potential
customer base with more opportunities for customers to access and
experience our fast, simple, portable, reliable and affordable wireless
broadband services."
Mobile carrier Sprint is investing US$3 billion in building a
nation-wide WiMAX network which is due for completion by the end of
2008 and is expected to give the wireless technology boost in the
US.
