if it's your mommy's or daddy's money, u don't have the right to complain. it's not yours at the 1st place.
btw, the reason the government gave the rights to TM because they believe TM is the ONLY company here that is able to deliver this project & willing to spend that much money on a project this big. do u think p1 has the money to spend on something like this? haha.
it's the government who wants to give the rights to TM. so why are u blaming TM for getting the privileges?
I will have to partly agree on this. For a project of such scale and size, you can't just award it to any company on the street. It'll have to be a company with the resources and track record in handling such projects. btw, the reason the government gave the rights to TM because they believe TM is the ONLY company here that is able to deliver this project & willing to spend that much money on a project this big. do u think p1 has the money to spend on something like this? haha.

The government is trying to push broadband to the whole country, be it rural or urban. If they had awarded it to a chinaman company (I use the term chinaman very loosely here, I really just mean a non-GLC profit-motivated company), the company would probably have pushed to rollout HSBB in the urban areas only and neglect the rural areas as they're unlikely to be too profitable, thereby completely disregarding the NBI and penetration targets.
If I recall correctly, the government only funded less than half of the amount required for HSBB rollout - TM had to fork out the remaining (RM6bn or so was it?).
But I don't like how they force you to take IPTV and voice as well. I guess there's no way else they would've persuaded anyone to take up those plans as the current HSBB-ed homes would probably have Astro already.
Just my humble 2 cents. If I'm wrong on any front, feel free to correct me
