Perish the thought. Movies, music - paid ofcourse. Replacing the cablewalla. Afterall it's a Rs.300cr p.a. kitty in Mumbai alone.all they need is some servers and POPS. Given the pile of cash they sit on capital costs for rolling out such services are ridiculously low.

CapEx for the last mile is high. CapEx for most services is low. Opex, OTOH, is fairly high for services.

That is why Wimax. They already have physical space which would be a huge cost otherwise. Infact for MTNL just recovering all the copper would fund the client side device and they could well afford to replace all copper with wireless - subjet to the technology being capable of handling the connection density.

For MTNL increase in opex will be marginal since the major opex is covered by voice services.

Keywords - QoS and CC! With MTNL its virtually nil.

If u are refering to qos bits in the tcp header lets hope it stays that way. The network must stay packet neutral and hence service neutral. Otherwise you will be shelling out even more for much less. ISPs would (they arlready are) start charging premiums for infrastucture usage funded esentially by public wealth (money earned by grant of monopoly on spectrum and restrictions on free flow of Indian and foreign money)

Well no I wasn't really referring to the QoS bits. I was referring to the Quality of Service provided by MTNL. It has miles to go before they can really call it a service. For most its just a headache.
The amount of agility provided by Wimax outperforms MTNL's downs. I'd definitely welcome it.
