Indonesia FTTH ISP Biznet already implemented NGN FTTH since 2007.



Telkom SpeedyNet best effort 3mbps


Phuket started their NGN FTTH trials since Feb 2009 with 30mbps symmetrical service to homes.
This project has strong Japanese backing from names such as Fujikura and NEC

Phillippines Sky Broadband already has 12mbps cable broadband with PLDT already building a NGN network since last year offering ADSL2+

I don't want to even compare our NGN project with Singapore's Monster NGBN which aims to achieve 1terabits to premise when completed.

Begin?

Indonesia's Biznet had commercially launch it back in 2007.
Thailand's Phuket NGN FTTH trials is already running

Admit it your RM11billion project is already an outdated technology used since 2-3 years ago.
Japan already implemented 1gbps FTTH 3 years ago.

Nothing to be proud of. In SEA region besides Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines has NGN projects on a larger scale or just as ambitious as yours.

TM's HSBB NGN is nothing to shout about.

There's no competition and excitement to it. Very few people think that it's promising.

Things which they never tell out openly:

All main tenders to contractors and installers except hardware vendors are awarded to Bumiputeras.A no brainer

They made it in such a way that all wholesale and access have to go through a single provider. If the main node goes down, everyone goes down with it unlike the multilevel OpCo, NetCo, AccessCo which are openly tendered to world class companies.The one who gives the best offer and solution wins. No net neutrality at all with only 1 say.

I said main service/installer contractors not subcontractors and lets not forget the exception of hardware equipment vendors.

I have walked into Kedai Telekoms and Primatel before, apart from their franchise Clickers startup outlets I've never seen a chinese at their front counters before.

Same goes to the Streamyx installer technicians which serve my area.

Why the isolation?

No need to compare those countries.

Use unknown ones like Latvia, Poland, Slovania, Romania, Croatia all already boast of FTTH and VDSL2.
The EU allows any telco players within their group to invest in any member nations without restrictions.

Even within our region we are already behind Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines.

We don't want to be compared to the likes of Laos and Papua New Guinea
