Yota in Russia provide uplink to 10mbit/s for $30 per month (unlimited traffic), not bad, right?:)

very good price, but the launch of Yota's WiMAX service has been pushed back from November 2008 to end of March 2009. I checked the website yesterday.

WiBro (Wireless Broadband) is the service name for mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e-2005) in South Korea. It uses 2.3 GHz spectrum with 8.75 MHz channels. Is that WiMAX? Of course — the first WiMAX Forum Certified products for 802.16e-2005 were based on the WiBro spectrum profile! Nearly 200 mobile WiMAX devices have been announced or are commercially available today. The details are available in the "Mobile WiMAX Device Guide".

Currently, the WiMAX network of Nexcom supports nomadity, i.e. you can move your wireless modem from one point to another within the WiMAX coverage and to use the services from different places. To use the services being on the move will be possible when Nexcom upgrades entirely its network to mobile WiMAX access.

is the service fixed or nomadic/mobile WiMAX? Can you just go to one of the 30 towns with a USB dongle and connect to the service?

I don't think KT in Korea is offering WiMAX service. Aren't they on a different standard – WiBro? As for Yota, their WiMAX service is set to launch on November 30. That's why the place marks for St. Petersburg and Moscow are in yellow.

Yota is mobile, in the sense that its service is based on USB dongles and real handsets…
So is KT in Korea – I think that the current map needs updating
