TEMA Vice President and Motorola’s Regional Director of Government Relations Bharat Bhatia who is participating in the ITU conference at Geneva and played an active role in the conference said: “Today ITU took an important step toward ensuring that the public will benefit from the most advanced wireless technologies when it accepted WiMAX into the IMT-2000 family of technologies.

Inclusion of WiMAX into the IMT-2000 frequency bands is especially important for India as we work to expand the broadband penetration which will bridge the countries digital divide and tremendously benefit our consumers”.

N K Goyal, Chairman Emeritus TEMA commenting on the decision said “TEMA applauds today’s decision by the ITU Radiocommunication Assembly to approve WiMAX as part of the IMT-2000 family of standards. India’s entire telecom industry appreciates the efforts made by the Indian delegation at the ITU conference in playing a key leadership role in this decision.
