Think it this way, for each subscription of VIP package, u will get an IPTV... If u noticed, other internet provider in other countries dont give IPTV for its bundle... and for the high price of the package, in business sense, Unifi customer still in little number. Once it grower, the price should go down as the cost consumer per capital will decrease due to high duit modal from existing customer. (just like u start business, will make high/market price first (launch package), after more regular customer, u can buy things in bundle (the unit, the cable) and can give more discount to ur regular customer(the monthly fee)).....
IPTV for consumers eh?
Did you recall TM saying that if they are selling the access of the the fibre optic to other competitor, they must offer Value added service as well?
Thats anti-competitve behaviour for you.
IPTV is just a means for them to charge monopolistic prices. Heck, most people don't need this stupid IPTV. Not with its channel selection anyways.
The reason TM has a IPTV bundled is because they are a monopoly. Monopoly can do whatever they want. If the charge Rm150 for 5Mbps+IPTV, they can say it's cheap because it comes with IPTV bundle. But the trouble is, why can't I choose internet only for a cheaper price?
They don't provide us consumers with a choice. It's either you get triple play, or you get all so throttle steamix.
If we have antitrust law, TM will kena sued until their pants fall off.
