Siminn to launch Iceland’s first WiMAX network

Iceland’s fixed line incumbent Siminn (Iceland Telecom) will launch the country’s first commercial WiMAX network early in 2007, following the successful trial of the service in the Grímsnes area which has been running since the summer. Siminn claims the pilot has been so successful that in the next few months commercial WiMAX services will be offered to customers living in Grímsnes as well as other outlying areas.
