You need to get a connection from BSNL. It is a mini USB device which you need to plug into your computer. Exact price about the device is not known.
There are two plans as per the existing informations. One at Rs. 999/- per month for unlimited usage (home plan) and another at Rs. 1999/- per month (business plan) for unlimited usage.
Make sure your area is WiMAX covered before you make the payment. Not all BSNL towers are WiMAX enabled. If you are near Kannur Medical College, proceed straight forward. BSNL is working to bring KMC under WiMAX coverage and will be completed within a week!!
