Turkey could issue up to four nationwide 3.5GHz licences next year,according to Turkcell, Europe's second largest mobile operator bysubscriber numbers, which wants to use WiMAX in the spectrum. Two years ago Intel and Turk Telecom began the first WiMAX pilot inTurkey, connecting a school in Yozgat to the internet. In June 2006,Turkish WISP Turbonet started trials with Aperto WiMAX equipment inIstanbul using a trial 3.5GHz licence. Since then, however, there has been little activity in Turkeywith the fate of both 3G and wireless broadband spectrum uncertain. |

The United Nations telecommunications agency in Geneva gave the
upstart technology called WiMax a vote of approval, a sizable victory
for Intel and something of a defeat for competing technologies from
Qualcomm and Ericsson.
The International Telecommunication Union's radio assembly agreed
late Thursday to include WiMax, a wireless technology that allows
Internet and other data connections across much broader areas than
Wi-Fi, as part of what is called the third-generation family of mobile
standards.
That endorsement opens the way for many of the ITU's member
countries to devote a part of the public radio spectrum to WiMax, and
