One good development will be taking happenning in India and thats WIMAX. Its meant to overcome the difficulties of last mile connectivity problems in developing countries and provide broadband services. They alreay tried it out in Himachal Pradesh.
Wireless doesn't exactly scale in densely populated areas. And WiMax is licensed spectrum only. Wimax will at most replace the link from the backbone to the last mile (which is not a problem in Mumbai).
802.11x is meant to solve the last mile issue, and that isn't really a scalable solution.
