Brothers & sisters, a very good Wednesday morning to all....... Just to continue from where I left off at.....

Yes, it's here.......very very soon indeed. Yes, brothers & sisters, I am talking about YTL 4G WIMAX.



Just received some latest news personally from CEO’s Office , YTL Corporate Communications.



Our network engineering team members are currently very engrossed building the network to reach 65% of populated areas nationwide. Our device team are collaborating with a globally-known device manufacturer on a number of 4G mobile devices for more options to customers based on their needs and budget while our product team members are innovating the latest applications to run on the network. The Marketing team, meanwhile, is working on exciting, affordable service packages and the customer service team is building an interactive-based, world-class customer care infrastructure and all to be ready by our service commercial launch in Q4 this year for a wholly-new customer experience which will improve the way Malaysian learn, work, and play.

As an integral part of our 4G ecosystem, we are working with best-in-class partners such as Clearwire, Cisco, GCT, Samsung, and soon with the other world-class IT players to bring the best 4G device and customer experience to all Malaysians. In fact, today we signed a collaboration agreement with the world market leader in computer chipset which will include its extensive interoperability tests on our 4G network to profile their services as compatible with the wireless chipset. With this partnership, the power of our 4G network opens up to a whole new range of consumer devices, such as WiMAX-embedded netbooks and laptops.

We are actually in the ‘soft launch’ mode already with the robust 4 network is actually up and running with internal friendly user trials (FUT) is currently on-going to fine-tune the network and to test the mobile devices. A few demonstrations have been made to the highest authorities and selected high stake-holders to a resounding success. As soon as we reach the desired footprints, we shall switch on the network and offer it to the consumers to experience the full mobility of high-speed Internet Connectivity.

On the consumer front, we recently signed with UTM (IPTA) and UTAR (IPTS) to offer campus-wide 4G network and free 300 MB per month for all students. By end-2010, we shall sign up with all public and selected main private universities to offer 4G experience to 400,000 students nationwide and help to achieve the country’s National Broadband Initiative (NBI) to reach the 50% penetration rate by year-end and become a ‘broadband nation’ as envisioned by our Prime Minister.




Thank you again for your keen interest and your patience. Will update you more as will soon as YTL WIMAX unveil it's brand name and flagship store.



You will be wondering about this ..."IT'S COMING, IT'S HERE SOON"........yes, my friends, watch out for THE ANNOUNCEMENTS IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS THIS WEEKEND.......hopefully too.


Cheers to all......take care too my friends.....much love.

Good news for peeps who want an alternative to Pee1 or the other WWAN providers lol. Hope it'll be great, need to see more competition.

Just hope it won't be oversubscribed too fast else it'll end up just LIKE the others; a good initial 4-5 months, and after that... more hair pulling from people who revert back to STIMIX....

As long as it has a Fair Usage Policy with a stupid quota i advise everyone to forget it.

the reason why I won't get from Maxis/DG/Wimax is because of fair usage policy.

unless if this is changed, I will keep my 1mbps streamyx.

it will be on fair usage policy.. even in US or Australia...dont hope for no such policy here

for nowadays usage and demand, peoples want a better bandwidth and high speed to fulfilled the increasing data contents. implementing this policy is like giving you a ferrari and ask you to drive below 100/kmh. I believe if more ppls is not subscribing to that service and they will begin to realise and adjusting their policy to suits our demand.

It's the power of consumer anyway.

More new in all today's newspapers!!

TS go die!! with your fair usage broadband.. get real lah come on..

300MB for those IPT students? stingy lorrhhh...

come on , its free... normal surfing 300mb is enuf for like 30mins ..and they dont expect u to sit there whole day for DDL ....

if u think not enuf , use Uni wifi ...thats no limit ....

so ur saying that fair usage is good and u are supporting it?

i juz said that ppl let u surf for free at 300mb quota and nw u complain about it ?

fair usage is good, as it will not to stress on the server or wad... see Tmnut, no fair usage and every1 pps/torrent and see what happen??
then again, unlimited is the best~ I'm a heavy user too~ LOL

300mb for free consider good already~ free neh~

+1
I agree!

i can see Wimax technology die next 1-2yrs..

LTE is future

Just received more latest news personally from CEO’s Office , YTL Corporate Communications.



We have to delay the announcement by a few more days due to unforeseen circumstances.
As mention, we are indeed on ‘soft launch’ mode already with devices and network are being tested rigorously leading to our Q4 nationwide commercial launch.

Appreciate your patience ya? I promise you that it will be a worthwhile waiting. You know that YTL is a great builder and we’re building something great here for all Malaysians.



Cheers to all.

I agree fair use policy is good. But I do not agree about saying no fair use policy and everyone pps/torrent will cause server congestion or stuff. If TMNET does not have enough bandwidth or processing power on their routers/switches/server end; they should upgrade instead of blaming users for doing P2P.

So if TM blocks P2P totally and then there's slow down still, you guys gonna say people email or surf too much?

Nonsense... If you do not have a big head, do not wear a big HAT.

Don't you dare call it broadband when you are only offering 1-2mbps kind of speed.

P1Wimax and the rest of the other wireless broadband providers today are dying because their misnamed their services as broadband but offer speeds which are lame.

melaka ada ? with screamyx happy hour slowdown.. it suck big time

Can YTL actually live up to the hype it has been creating similar to P1 over a few years ago? Honestly, if YTL is offering the same speed package with the same bandwidth quota, I'm not going to switch from P1 because there's nothing to motivate us from switching to YTL. However, unless there is a modest upgrade in the bandwidth quota or their products are priced competitively, then there would be some degree of competition going on.

The Fair Usage Policy is a useful policy to ensure quality of service being delivered to all customers. I don't like the idea of one guy hogging the entire bandwidth and the rest have to suffer because of it. I really do hope YTL will imposed a reasonable usage quota and reasonable pricing on their services. I do understand why internet business companies need to implement this policy, but make sure it's reasonable.

better hv fair usage policy laa..if not..people will abuse the bandwitdh..later u all complaint slow...watever reason laa..
