DOHA (WiMAX Day). This week, the Vodafone-Qatar Foundation received an additional license to offer WiMAX services in Qatar. Following its successful win of the second fixed-line license, the telecom regulator in Qatar, ictQatar, decided that WiMAX services also should be bundled with the license.

According to a report in Gulf Times, William Fagan, executive director of ictQatar, said “Qatar is too small to have a separate WiMAX licensee.”

Grahame Maher, chief executive officer of Vodafone Qatar, confirmed in the report that “the licence includes fixed WiMAX spectrum and service rights.”

The state operator QTel also been awarded a license and spectrum to operate WiMAX.
