(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/db5461/laying_the_foundat)
has announced the addition of the "Laying the Foundation: WiMAX in
Asia/Pacific 2008" report to their offering.

WiMAX, as a new broadband wireless access technology, is finally
getting momentum in Asia/Pacific region. Korea leads the world with
home-grown WiBro technology (very similar to Mobile WiMAX), while
Australia has one of the earliest adoption for Fixed WiMAX.

With large number of licenses issued by telecom regulators, WiMAX
now becomes an important investment area in the telecom field.

Pakistan's Wateen telecom has one of the largest Mobile WiMAX
networks in emerging markets worth $200 million. Leading operators in
India have lined out their plans to invest billions of dollars on
WiMAX for better broadband coverage. Operators in island country
Indonesia are expecting licenses in mid 2008.

With expectation of new deployments in large scale, Asia/Pacific
region is viewed as the most exciting place for WiMAX take-up and the
game has just started.

We estimate the total WiMAX services market at US$58 million in
2007, which will grow at a CAGR of 148% to reach US$5,456 million in
2012. Total subscribers will grow from 230,000 in 2007 to 33.9 million
in 2012.
