JAKARTA - Indonesia will launch a network adopting the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) broadband technology next year to improve access to the Internet across the country, an official said Sunday quoted by the Jakarta Post. "We hope that by next year, WiMAX technology will be implemented," said Engkos Koswara, an expert adviser to Indonesian State Minister for Research and Technology, at the promotion of Indonesia Goes Open Source (IGOS) program.
