Abstract
In an attempt to understand the growth of Internet subscribers and the determinants of Internet infrastructure in Nepal, this chapter examines the growth of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) subscribers at the national level and the factors associated with WiMAX base stations at the district level. The findings suggest that the number of WiMAX subscribers will continue to grow steadily in the short term. Per capita income, population density, and total road length are positively associated with WiMAX infrastructure availability. Elevation has a negative association. The availability of WiMAX base stations also varies regionally. Although the Government of Nepal has recognized the importance of [broadband] Internet, it needs to address various issues to ensure that the Internet becomes an integral part of economic growth and development.
