No, we're not talking sktscraper or LRT... just telecoms line.
I hope you will re-read original question to understand the real question. Getting 56k to most of Malaysia is NOT FREE. If it cost, say, $2 billion to do that, that's $2 billion that Singapore DID NOT NEED TO SPEND, becos they don't have rest of the country except their own measly 700sq km land area, while TM has to cover even 10% of our 330,000 sq km.
.... and while its nice to say "just get 10 people to subscribe VIP20", well I'm sure you're thinking you are one of the 10? Tell me honestly, is it OK for 10 people (not you) to enjoy VIP20, while the rest of us (i think including you, me, and most of the people in this Forum!) to have 56k....??
Well, even if you don't mind that (becos you're a really nice guy), I really doubt the rest of Malaysia willing to sacrifice their access to hi-speed (oklah, 1 - 4mbs can say hi-speed lah) just so that only a small group of people (oklah, lets say 500,000 people for argument's sake) who happen to stay in KL can enjoy that VIP20 line....!?!?
As a side topic: you say rural area do not need Unifi..... why is that? are Malaysians in rural areas less ambitious/ less smart/ less desirous than city people? Who you think will dare make that decision to tell TM "hey, stop all fibre cabling outside the cities.... no need to give Unifi to rural area becos they don't need it".... the PM? CEO of TM? Really?
Would anybody now staying in rural area please reply to say its OK if TM just forget about giving Unifi to your home..... I'm sure we'll get very interesting results from that poll
anyway, all i said is just for sembang-sembang kosong sake, nothing serious lah.. whatever it is, this is all we got & we just have to live with it .......
How do you then explain how australia does it? or any other country which provides internet at CHEAPER rates than ours when you factor in their average household incomes and their own labour rates?
Australia for example has a much higher cost just from being so bloody far from the rest of the world, their labor cost is also a lot more expensive, and their cities and towns are much more spread out and dispersed compared to ours. Yet, they provide much better service at a better price.
