    Right now, what I have is P663/mbps or roughly $13.5/mbps (globelines)... This is still a 'very' expensive rate......

    AFAIK

    Smart used the Wimax technology for its initial broadband roll-out. Not sure what happened as they scrapped it and replaced it with 3G.

    "“Wimax is only 10 percent of the cost of GSM and 3G,”

    That is just stretching the truth too far. Hehe.
