   In the presentation “Wi-Fi Innovation and backbone deficiencies,” made in New Delhi in March 2006, the three key lessons for developing countries like India were the following:

   1) Hastening of broadband Internet deployment in India & developing countries if ISPs can use Wi-Fi in the access network to bypass incumbent’s local loop.
   2)Wi-Fi can bridge digital divide by providing Internet connectivity leap-frogging difficult terrain and lack of wired infrastructure in rural areas.
   3)Wi-Fi deployment can be commercially viable.

   A press release expanding on the above themes was also released on the occasion.

   It is heartening to note that in the face of the incumbent’s reluctance to unbundle its local loop, the Indian regulator is pushing for wireless solutions using Wi-Fi and Wimax to bypass the local loop bottle neck:

   Interestingly, TRAI has indicated that last mile local loop unbundling of the copper network owned by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd may not be necessary and the Government should instead promote wireless technologies.

   “The length of copper loops in rural and remote areas is also very large thus making them unsuitable for provision of broadband service supporting digital subscribers link. The deployment of wireless technologies for the provision of broadband services would be an appropriate step ,” said the TRAI letter.
