Aiyo people...

Let history remind you.... Asiaspace took down their WiMAX network in "favor" of a future LTE deployment. Redtone... as quiet as church mouse and their target market is SME not consumer, and P1.... big staff exodus. So YTL only has the big boys to contend with now. But with every other WiMAX providers experiencing epic fail, who da heck would wanna lock down a 1 or 2 year contract with yet another WiMAX service provider? Foolhardy.

YTL start late maybe they don't want copy P1 model which the later works on a 'gradually coverage expansion model' that subject to many complaints in the service area ....

they rather finish with network station built-up first than only launch their product to consumer... maybe this is what a giant co. can afford go against a growing IT co.

Malaysia To Launch World's 1st Wireless Hybrid TV Service

Kuala Lumpur, 11th October 2010 – YTL Communications Sdn Bhd today signed a Licence and Services Agreement with next-generation TV innovator, Sezmi Corporation. The agreement gives YTL Communications the rights to deploy hybrid TV service in Malaysia and throughout Asia Pacific thus transforming Malaysia into a leading operational hub for digital media and television broadcasting, capable of serving the region. Through this, Malaysia will effectively become first in the world to launch an all wireless hybrid TV service by the end of 2011.


Hybrid TV brings together the best of broadcast content and Internet in the same device over a wireless network to deliver a superior customer experience and Sezmi is leading in this area. The Sezmi system is currently commercially available in the United States, one of the world’s most demanding markets for such technologies and services. It is in this very market that Sezmi has proven itself as a front running innovator in redefining the television viewing experience.

"YTL is passionate about bringing concrete benefits and positive change to Malaysians from all walks of life. We commend our Prime Minister’s vision to develop Malaysia into a high income country," said Tan Sri (Dr) Francis Yeoh, Managing Director, YTL Corporation Berhad & Executive Chairman of YTL Communications. "Acting on this call made by the government, we bring Silicon Valley to Malaysia today with this next-generation wireless hybrid TV service. We believe Sezmi is the best partner to make this possible. With Sezmi Corporation, we will give Asia a next-generation entertainment experience by bringing together the best television and Internet experience all in one box. Malaysia is screaming for more choices and with Sezmi, we will deliver. This will inspire Malaysians to adopt the Internet at a faster rate in line with the government's National Broadband Initiative."

Through this partnership, YTL Communications plans to transform Malaysia into the world's first, fully converged wireless quadruple-play country, effectively positioning the nation as the world’s most advanced wireless country. The service that YTL will bring together with Sezmi will require new devices, equipment, content and applications which will be developed and manufactured in Malaysia, at the same time driving FDI from world-class partners while creating export opportunities of know-how and manufactured goods to service providers throughout the region. Indirect output will also see the creation of a large pool of jobs for creative, professional and technical services, all of which are imperatives in achieving an innovation-led, high-income economy.

"When we launch our 4G mobile Internet service next month, it will be amazing. We will deliver to Malaysia a wireless dual-play service – broadband and voice on our 4G network. But this is only the beginning. Thanks to our cutting edge architecture, we will be able to deliver the world's first wireless quadruple-play service (mobile broadband, mobile voice, mobile TV and fixed TV) by the end of next year. But our desire for innovation will not stop there, we will continue to deliver amazing experiences to our customers using our 4G platform and bring positive change to Malaysia." said Wing K. Lee, CEO, YTL Communications.

"We're truly excited to be a part of this project. I commend the Malaysian government and YTL Communications for their foresight in initiating a project that is as impressive as this. It is indisputable that convergence between broadcast and Internet is fast becoming a dominant trend," said Buno Pati, CEO, Sezmi Corporation. "In developing countries, televisions are significantly more prevalent than computers. Hence, the best way to deliver broadband to every person is through a TV screen connected to a wireless network that can bring together high quality HD content and Internet all in one. We see this partnership as an amazing opportunity to realise this vision. YTL Communications' solid financial foundation, expertise and passion make them the perfect partner to realize this vision.”

so guys the this shud be a gud news or a bad news(mean it will really improve the bad internet connection provide by P1 b4?)

i'll give u a prediction.
first 6 months you'll get fast service, and after that it will be dead slow and the ISP don't give a shit cause ur on a contract.

u tak suka, u keluar malaysia. thats the attitude of all the ISPs in malaysia from what i can see.

tired of waiting gonna get tmnet NOW


sian

why don't all these wireless ISP providers just combine their resources to build a consortium?

Just imagine YTL - Redtone - P1 - Ezzinet all come together to share their resources and build their own infrastructure?


I don't see how these newcomers can compete with well established players in the market like Digi/maxis/celcom which have large cash inflows. P1 relies solely on the broadband service to generate income, where as these 3 big telcos have other lifeline such as voice service.

But then again, YTL is a big company with resources. I will give it a benefit of doubt.

Based on the softlaunch yesterday... I would say... don't get your hopes up. It isn't the "game-changer" that YTL makes their solution out to be (and it sure as hell isn't 4G since the ITU has finalized their requirements).

A more or less wrap-up of yesterdays softlaunch: http://bit.ly/cJ7xzO

try yes.my

sure limit usage
giv u 42M
the fastest internet in malaysia
but 1month 5GB only

i wonder hw do they calculate.. high bandwidth = low cap ?

high bandwidth should be high cap.. since you got more bandwidth you will utilize it better.. eg streaming video/radio stations/video conferencing and etc

somehow all their logic is crap.. they only wanna squeeze money from you

I know what you mean. I really hate marketing speak.

All these P1 and YTL Wimax players keep selling their services as 4G. It's NOT 4G.

4G isn't even fully implemented in Japan yet. Let alone the rest of the world.

They're Wimax. They should just stick to the term Wimax. 3G and 4G run on cellular networks, such as Digi and Maxis. Wimax is essentially a Wifi on steroids. They do not run off cellular networks but run instead on a special type of wifi that extends a few kilometers.
