TM needs to take a page from Verizon and their FiOS packages. They're offering the same 3-in-1 thing, but with MUCH MUCH higher value because the IPTV is actually very interesting. More interesting than Astro.
I'm still rooting for an a la carte option, Mr. Zamzam. If you want to be in the consumers' good graces, you gotta listen to us. My take on the best solution: HSBB internet with higher caps(I'm talking 100GB for 5Mbps) and 300GB for 20Mbps) priced at <RM200 and make the IPTV and VOIP optional(and interesting. Better channels for IPTV to lure us).
Here's hoping somebody important in TM will read this thread.

QUOTE(mylinear @ Mar 27 2010, 06:05 PM) This is IMHO.
TM may not want to unbundle the services because I think they had already said that if other players decide to offer services using the HSBB infrastructure, those players have to offer at least 2 services. Those players cannot offer just high speed internet alone. It remains to be seen how many of the other players will offer 2 or more services later down the line.
By offering 3 services from the start, TM has already got a competitive edge against the others. If they only allow HSI, then other players may also come in and start a price war like how it has been with mobile operators. This is of course good for the consumers, but TM will lose foothold if this happens.
You see, the thing is, they're FORCING us to subscribe to IPTV. Now, I wouldn't care much if it's a good proposition but the fact of the matter is, it is not. The IPTV channels are simply channels that brings little to no excitement or interest to most people. I can understand abt the VOIP but that's insignificant since even if offered as an option, it wouldn't cost much. There SHOULD be other players to compete with them at least on an equal level. Competition breeds progress as each companies tries to one-up each other. After all, TM would have the least worries if it has competitions. They're backed by the govt and the government would never let any of their investments go bankrupt. |

QUOTE(mylinear @ Mar 27 2010, 07:10 PM) In the report about access to HSBB infrastructure by other providers, one of the points was What exactly is the problem for another provider to sell the bandwidth (which they are leasing) at a higher price to a consumer (to make their own profit)? It seems to me that by having this restriction, Rather than to protect the consumer, is it more to protect TM itself so other providers do not sel HSI at a lower price than what TM is doing now? I think I saw a diagram, either on this forum or on some website, which showed how a consumer could subscribe for services from more than one provider on the same HSBB line. Can anyone remember such a diagram?If so, how is that possible if Unifi already bundles all 3 services? The govt has a substantial investment in TM. Of course the HSBB infrastructure laws were constructed to TM's favor. |

QUOTE(fabianz03 @ Mar 27 2010, 07:55 PM) That's why we neevr progress.  Don't compare, do the best you can do. But I think TM can do way better than this if they didn't monopoly . Indeed. As I mentioned a few posts back, competition breeds progress. And innovation. Too bad that ain't gonna happen anytime soon. The govt is backing TM and to them monopoly means money money money.

I remember last time TM wasn't monopolizing the dial-up market. We had Jaring, and TIME. That was a good time when WE had the choice which service to use. |

All in all I just hope they just make the IPTV thing optional. IPTV is capable of becoming something HUGE like THE premier service for HD entertainment but no, all you're getting are channels that you most probably would say "blah" to.
TM, listen up. All we need is the HSBB internet connection. Screw the VOIP and IPTV. Forcing people to pay more just because of the inclusion of a lousy TV service is just stupid.
