NEW DELHI (WiMAX Day). According to a report in the Hindu, the Department of Telecom (DoT) in India announced that it intends to support a proposal from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) that seeks to include WiMAX in the family of IMT-2000 technologies. The ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) Working Party 8F (WP 8F) recently decided at a meeting in Kyoto to present its support for the inclusion of WiMAX in the so-called 3G radio frequencies. Despite opposition from local 3G operators, a senior DOT official said this week “Most countries, except for a few like China, are in favour of including the new technology as a 3G technology. We will go with the majority opinion…. We go by what ITU decides.”
