RDB to launch new ISP

Rwanda Development Board (RDB/IT) is preparing itself to start a new Internet Service Provider codename BSC Ltd, standing for Broadband Systems Corporation Limited. The ISP league in Rwanda is becoming more crowded making the competition stiffer.

BSC Ltd is promising broadband Internet connection to its customers, claiming that initial tests performed during several weeks are satisfactory.
The second good news is the price. Users would be charged 20,000rwf a month. No wonder why operators started offering unlimited data plans at low prices several month back, which was a pretty good sign of what was about to come (referring to the launch of BSC Ltd).

The new ISP is offering its services with the help of a technology called WIMAX (sometimes referred to as an "almost" 4G network). A version of mobile WIMAX (first time in the country) called WiBro, developed by Koreans, is the one being installed at different spots in Kigali. Users will require Wibro-enabled modems if they wish to access the network. Obviously these modems will be offered at a low cost if a successful launch is on their agenda.
Waiting to get hands on it when it goes live and test the speed...
