This could be the first one, at least in Eastern Europe. Kommersant, the major Russian business paper, is reporting that Ukrainian cities of Kiev and Kharkov will get commercial WiMAX deployments by Ukrainian High Tech Ltd (whose Web site is currently under construction). Intel Capital and Russian financial powerhouse Alpha Group are involved.
AlterNet will serve two largest Ukrainian cities for now, but will grow to expand every regional capital. Ukraine currently consists of 25 regions with the capital being the largest city in the region. Overall they are planning to spend $40-60 mln on getting the largest cities connected to WiMAX. No word on pricing just yet.
