It is strange that this news, published on December 11, 2007, did not appear in one of the most popular blogs of the profile community. Correcting ...
- In accordance with the agreement, COMSTAR-UTS and Intel at the first stage of cooperation will focus their efforts on the Moscow region, as the most prepared to adapt advanced wireless data transmission technologies. COMSTAR-UTS plans to build and, by the end of 2008, launch into commercial operation the IEEE 802.16e standard WiMAX network (radio frequency range 2.5-2.7 GHz), covering the entire territory of Moscow. For its part, Intel will expand the supply of client devices with integrated support for WiMAX.

The full text of the announcement can be found on the COMSTAR website.
- I dare to note from myself that this agreement opens up broad prospects for the further development of one of the largest Internet providers, which is an integral part of COMSTAR. Guess who I'm talking about ...;)
