BT's incoming CEO, Mr Ian Livingston, has informed the
Financial Times that the operator is considering an investment in
WiMAX, a wide range (coverage) broadband wireless technology similar to
Wi-Fi:
“We will look at WiMax,” said Mr Livingston. He added that BT had enjoyed a “great deal of success” with WiFi, a less powerful mobile technology the company has used to give consumers wireless connections from their laptops to the fixed-line internet.
Ofcom is expected to kick off its largest ever auction of wireless spectrum this summer (
news), which will include frequencies’ that could be used for
WiMAX/3G style technology.
