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


http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1348455



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..

like my cc..when i workin at cc...one thing i really dun like is customer install xunlei dl movie or pps watch movie..disturb customer jus surf net...last nite i hv big headache..some customer ask me why internet slow...i go check pc one by one..one bloody china student use xunlei dl..wtf.......

It will be in almost all major towns throughout Malaysia.....all at one go & not just like P1 which does it town after another town or city.


Cheers.

Launching slow packages at 1-2mbps in major towns and cities in Malaysia and calling it broadband will just end your business sooner.

We've already Unifi, Jaring Wired and Time offering higher speeds and much stable connections over wired connections at lower prices at major urban areas.

It wouldn't work in the Klang Valley as TM is already building an extensive fiber network there.

So care to explain how would your wireless service stand out?
In today's broadband business we talk about speed, pricing and availability.

Unless you're going to concentrate on kampung rural areas like what P1Wimax is intending to do.

There's no reason people would subscribe to wireless if FTTH is available in their areas.No brainer decision.

I wnat to know wat will be the price and speed

If is 1mb or 2mb.. it no point.. streamyx have it all over

im more interested to see what package they offer rather than who is offering it...if its no difference as wimax...no point subscript also

Wireless will always be at the disadvantage compared to wired broadband when you intend to play in the same turf.
The pricing disadvantage alone will get you slaughtered overnight.

I can't see how YTL would be able compete in the Klang Valley where they are in direct coalition with Unifi FTTH.

Unless you can bring something out in excess of 10mbps for the home. You won't even stand a chance against wired ADSL.
Even how stable you can claim your broadband service is like a leased line at speeds of 1-2mbps, people would still get Streamyx or wired ADSL for much cheaper rates.
Look at P1Wimax for example.A 2mbps Home connection with download caps already cost RM199!

I know WIMAX is capable of speeds in access of 20mbps.Japan UQ could launch at 20mbps using MIMO 2X so why not something at 12mbps for Malaysians?

as far as money is concern.. malaysian ISP as low speed as possible, earn as much profit as possible

Please wait for the announcements in the local newspapers in a few days time....cannot tell you more or release more information because of marketing strategy....please be patient will you brother.


No need to wait much longer.....this will be good I presume. ...when it's announce in the paper, you will know the full details.


Cheers.

Not much can be revealed now due to marketing strategy.....just wait for the announcements in your local papers to get an insight of it's offering......the waiting is definately worthwhile as the CEO office had just said.

I am sure they won't disappoint you after they had seen what's happening to all the complaining of our Malaysian ISPs.


Personally I don't don't the full details as everything is so secretive until the announcements.


Cheers brother.

Hopefully YTL WIMAX wont' disappoint you brother....remember they are giving FREE 300MB to the University students....so maybe they are doing something good for all Malaysians as a social service as well......

.......afterall YTL GROUP had make tons of money already.



Cheers.

Price wise, I am sure you don't have to worry much...please wait for the full details announcements in the local papers in a few days time to get a clearer picture. I personally don't know much about the pricing too.



Cheers brother.

Is it for Lembah Klang only or nationwide?

WiMAX is what you can get now, LTE is what you will get years later.
You can't compare something that you don't have with something you already have.

i hope is not over priced and reasonable monthly cap

The 300MB is just for free tasting.
Like free sample food, you can't get full on it.
But I wonder if Uni students have to pay for the Wimax modem to use the FREE 300MB.

I can't believe you said such things.

Like they say all rich tycoons make donations hoping to cleanse them of their sins and earn a good name for themselves.

A humble person donates anonymously FYI.

YTL is buying wholesale bandwidth from TM and from history we knew what happened to AMAX which went the same route down the road.
Here's a refresher for those who have forgotten:
http://www.soyacincau.com/2010/05/27/amax-...gh-tms-charges/

We also know that without utilizing a wired solution such as TM's MetroEthernet fiber for your backhaul, you can materialize real high speed internet in excess of 10mbps.

LTE won't materialize until our country has an extensive FTTH network for sure.

It's impossible for current base stations to provide everyone with speeds in excess of 100mbps that LTE is giving. Just like the Maxis trials which took place.

LTE will only be made possible when people have FTTH connections at home and they install micro base stations at home just like your wireless router which are called FEMTOCELLs.

So everyone FORGET about LTE.
It's a dream until you get your FTTH installed at home!

It doesn't make sense right? How can LTE provide speeds of close to 100mbps to your cellphone when you don't have a larger pipe feeding the femtocell? The only possibility is through a FTTH connection. That's when quadruple play comes into play.

Brother iipohbee, a very good Monday morning to you......brother, here I am trying to inform all Malaysian members here of the soon to be launch YTL Wimax & nothing else......not to make extra cash or whatsoever. I am just another poor Malaysian Rayaat who had had suffer long enough through more than 5 years of TM Streamyx bad service and connections, etc, etc. Being extremely disappointed with TM Streamyx, I do hope that some new ISP will come a deliver something better. Then came P1 & I too waited for a long time for it to come to my hometown. Later when it's available, I tried it but P1 performs miserably.....so, I again hope for another ISP to come along and deliver again.

Then I heard of new developments from YTL Communications & I, as a disappointed broadband user just like you perhaps, hope for something good from them. I keep in touch with CEO’s Office , YTL Corporate Communications & had been getting update personally from them. Now that they inform me of the good news, I try to bring some cheers to ALL DISAPPOINTED MALAYSIA BROADBAND USERS........maybe it's good or maybe not I don't know but at least we can have another ALTERNATIVE TO TRY OUT.


Brother iipohbee, what I said here is all mostly from YTL Communications. Remember I say this ......so maybe they are doing something good for all Malaysians as a social service as well.............yes, brother iipohbee, you seem not too happy when I say this & you seem to keep repeating again & again, as quote above your reply, I quote I can't believe you said such things. Like they say all rich tycoons make donations hoping to cleanse them of their sins and earn a good name for themselves.

A humble person donates anonymously FYI.
.......yes, brother iipohbee, I use the words "maybe they are doing something good for all Malaysians", Yes, using the word MY OWN WORD "MAYBE'... I know most people do some charity work for this world but you seem not too happy by repeating again & again these words "all rich tycoons make donations hoping to cleanse them of their sins and earn a good name for themselves."

Yes, we all in our life time on this world, will always try to do something good for others whenever possible, Yes, rich tycoons, I do envy them with their money and the luxury life there are living but them some of them are really doing something good for this world. Yes, brother iipohbee, there are lots of rich Malaysian tycoons doing good for all Malaysians but please do not say that "all rich tycoons make donations hoping to cleanse them of their sins and earn a good name for themselves." Yes, brother iipohbee, there are rich and poor people in this world, some maybe be born lucky rich & some maybe not just like you & most of us...so let it be and just don't condemn all rich people just because most of us cannot live a luxurious life like theirs. Remember, GOD IS ALL MIGHTY & I am sure HE will rewards us in so many other ways. So, let us live a life as we are created & you will find a happier & richer you.....yes, richer in other ways other than money.


Brother iipohbee, peace be with you & lets us all pray that YTL Communications will DELIVER.......let us all wait a few days more for their announcements in our local papers. It may turn out to be good or maybe not, I don't know myself. May I quote again from the CEO’s Office , YTL Corporate Communications.......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 brother iipohbee, peace be with you. Be happy always & take care too wherever you may be.

This post has been edited by monkeyking: Aug 2 2010, 02:40 AM

Brother vapeace, I do hope for this too...reasonable pricing & no monthly cap. I presume the marketing people at YTL Communications must have heard us loud and clear.


Cheers brother vapeace .....peace be with you.

guys please repair those broken /quotes. It's confusing to read.

Brother Qash-M, I am quite sure it's for nationwide and not just confine to Lembah Klang......but then I think it will be all at one go in most all Malaysian town......far away kampongs may come later.


Cheers brother Qash-M

I believe so too brother p4n6...yes, marketing & more business opportunities. Yes, nothing comes free with this world.


Cheers brother p4n6 ......peace be with you.

God Bless and In God We Trust.



Just my opinion on Malaysian broadband industry today.

We want fast fiber optic broadband and the next generation LTE or 4X4 Wimax won't materialize without a fast fiber line pumping huge bandwidth into wireless APs.

An update for all....



YTL Communications Sdn Bhd (YTL Comms) and Intel Malaysia have signed a collaboration agreement to deliver superior fourth generation (4G) experience on its network.'' ''

In a statement here on Monday, Aug 2, YTL Comms said working with Intel to offer WiMAX-ready devices was an integral part of the strategy to unveil the company's 4G network, which was expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of this year.

Its chief executive officer Wing Lee said the collaboration would include interoperability test on its 4G network by Intel to enable compatibility with its WiMAX/WiFi wireless chipset.

"Intel will also provide WiMAX-embedded laptops which will be certified and ready for use on our 4G network," he said.

He said the company would continue to expand its ecosystem of 4G devices and services to make it easier for the customers to enjoy the benefits of its network and play a role in propelling the country into an innovation-led economy.

Meanwhile, Intel Malaysia's country manager Ryaz Perez said the collaboration would boost WiMAX subscription and help Malaysia's National Broadband Plan achieve 50% penetration rate by the end-2010.



Cheers to all.....take care too brothers & sisters.

i cant help it.. but your use of emoticon really distract me

When are you rolling out your services?

so when launching ? can pakai one or.. don wan later become another p1 which over promote and cannot deliver shit

yup.. wimax will die not long in the future. telco/isp will resort to much more practical solution : WiFi hotspot .

I hope the speeds offered will be quite attractive.

Uncapped speeds like what Digi is offering with monthly volume limit.

Speed is everything for broadband.

Broadband service is a capital intensive biz. monkeyking, if you want to make a difference in MY broadband industry, suggest to your big boss to form a consortium with Digi, izzi and P1 to run a shared broadband backend infrastructure

Yeah form an alternative infrastructure and break away from TM's monopoly.

That way you'll encourage competition and efficiency!

Like my place here we have a dedicated Digi transmission tower.DiGi runs fiber across the road at my house and they are very active here.Must say they provide the best service which I can't ask for more.

Look at DiGi's broadband speed at my area:



Beats the crap out of Streamyx which claims to be "if it's not Streamyx, it's not enough!"
Shame on you so called fixed line provider. Fiber optics is like still years away.

Like any other celebration, Hari Raya is best celebrated when people of all communities come together as one. Now that we are closer than ever to our vision of connecting communities through our 4G network, we would like to wish all of you 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri' and thank you for your support throughout this journey of creating positive change in Malaysia. And as you make your own journey back to your hometown, remember that the next time you 'balik kampung' for Hari Raya, we will be by your side all the way, thanks to our 4G network.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Warm regards,

Any hints of what is the entry level speed for YTL Comms Wimax packages, Monkey King?

We don't want to hear anything which is below 3mbps.

Tell us something interesting about YTL's new offerings.

Hi brother iipohbee, don't know much about the full details of their speed but it will be worthwhile to wait a little longer for the full nationwide launch. I guess YTL Communication can't reveal much now because of marketing strategy.....so please be patient and I am sure YTL Communications will not disappoint us Malaysians.


Cheers brother strategy...you take good care too.

Brother Icehart, my humble apologise to you as most of the finer details are in kept in secrecy because of their marketing plans but, as far as I know, it will be launch in mid-November......so stay tune & let's hope for a better & faster 4G WIMAX [price wise too] from YTL Communications.


Thank you brother Icehart for your keen interest.



Cheers brother Icehart...you stay happy always.....take care too brother.

Brother iipohbee, I am sure some of the marketing department executives are reading this topic too & I amm sure they will take note of it too. Surely YTL Communications will definately NOT offer a lousy service & then go into oblivion......mind you they are investing billions in this new service.



Cheers brother iipohbee.......peace be with you & may GOD guide you in each step you take.

I just want a stable and consistent connection that will outshine all competitors out there. There's no way Wimax can compete with wired broadband but if YTL can maintain good, consistent, affordable and reasonable FUP, then I'll personally terminate my P1 and jump to YTL.

Hi monkeyking, I'm curious... P1 planned their CAPEX based on 800m radius per site. What's YTL's planning parameter?

When ist tell me oledi...arrrr

Monday, 11 October 2010 14:36

KUALA LUMPUR: Saying that YTL is known for building world-class
infrastructure at third world prices, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, managing
director, YTL CORPORATION BHD [] and executive chairman of YTL
Communications has thrown the gauntlet to the existing telco players with
his upcoming 4G launch of mobile voice and data services on Nov 18.

The service will immediate cover 65% of populated areas from 1,000 base
stations with close to RM1 billion invested thus far, he said. A triple play
service, it will morph into the world's first nationwide quad play service
by the end of next year with a mobile TV offering that will work across
devices and not be locked into any one proprietary platform.

"We will become the world's most advanced nation for communications services
by then," says Yeoh on Monday, Oct 11.


Yeoh: We have to give the power [of the Internet] to the people.
Firing a broadside at the established telcos, he says the telco model is not
sustainable. "Even their 3G is voice centric and they are hanging on with a
lot of profit and not innovating. That I think is to a certain extent,
irresponsible to the public."

He believes the Internet should be made available to all Malaysians. "That
is our vision. We have to give the power [of the Internet] to the people."

Not revealing pricing yet for next month's 4G launch, Yeoh gives a hint of
the prices to come when he says, "people forget that we were among the
pioneers in bringing the cost of voice calls [international] down by 93% in
the late 1990s with our Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) company Extiva.
Our pricing will be very competitive."

Yeoh believes the launch of the 4G service can quickly help Malaysia move
out of the middle income trap it is in. "Look at World Bank research which
points to every 10% increase in broadband subscription giving GDP a 1.35%
boost. Imagine when we boost broadband penetration to 70% in Malaysia."

I prefer to see the actual performance after 6 months the service launched.

powerful statement, typical Malaysian company.
I wonder will they be able to deliver it though...

all i hear is talk talk talk talk talk..

no see anything also .. useless

Well, don't judge them yet as per now. I will be more than happily waiting for them to launch the service in this coming Nov and see what they can offer. Nevertheless, this will provide a stiff competition to other Wimax and 3g services provider as well as the Mr monopolise ™ in terms of quality of services and pricing. Myself been frustrated with the current bad services fm Streamyx and even the Unifi services is being launched at a slow pace although my house is located in the areas where the infrastructure is ready to be deploy the ftth services.

Good luck to YTL and hope you will not disappoint us as I'm one of the possible client that is eager to try it out.

Agree with all of you... anly can hear... talk talk talk about promises promises promises...
But i prefer to check the service after a year... usually the flow like this:
1-4 months - people just know about it only, coverage not so wide.
5-9 months - more coverage, more people join, slow down starts at 7 month onward for majority areas
10-12 months - try to "IMPROVE" the shitty service....

Best time to do benches... 5-9 months and after a year....

But I think this company talk talk talk until even the general non techie people know about YTL...
I rmb few months ago, heard about this weird company some1 was saying... she make it sound like as if its the next best thing after toasted bread....
Well, I for 1 will not go wireless, will want FTTH because I am a gamer and a downloader....

And from july till now, we don't even know what packages.... sigh...
P1 actually told us about their shitty packages long before they launched....

IF it does lauch like erm, on November, its about time to tell customers your coverage areas and your packages, contract, modem price, etc... etc....

I smell a big failure from this.....
And I hope it will have reasonable caps.... Higher than P1, and definitely NOT LIKE CELCOM and MAXIS....

HAHAHA, PEE1 is useless la bro, if ur line have any problem and u called them they will say "We are expanding our network converage please be patient" their favourite line. Besides that for the first 1-2 months ur network is super fast after that u will see ur network speed start to decrease already, i dunno some how they programme it to be like that. Still prefer StreamX. Cheers

"We will become the world's most advanced nation for communications services
by then," says Yeoh on Monday, Oct 11.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA...

(Drops dead from laughing too much)

Hey, Mr Yeoh... All of the current 4G implementations in this sad country has gone to CRAP... what makes you think your company can do better?

That's right... butter us up with your words..... Another FAIL enterprise after everyone potong en masse and joins the fail network...

continued: and get stuck with 24+ months contract...

Now i begin to understand my Australia and some other contries didn't accept WiMax... LTE seems better in paper, but who knows how is it actually?

well...its normal that many corporate MD will talk good about their own company. Consumers nowadays are smarter as they don't take the empty words easily without seeing the facts. Anyway I believe YTL should done better in terms of the new 4G offering and this all of us hope to see in the coming future. Between YTL and TM, which brand you have a better image?

if not mistaken they've already so called pre-lunch their Wimax in some of the local public universities ( UTM and UPM if not mistaken).. i really hope to hear some comments from students about their network.

i really hope that YTL don't become like P1 or others.. pls don't shit on us!

how much? rm38 per month? or rm28?

well already subcribe to unifi..hmm but i believe YTL could make a diferent as they are quite a well known company in the world and quite a number of project in uk and few other internationally..

and seriously they are keeping high hope on their power generation division to make lots of profit apart from their cement/and few other branch..

hope their price could change the whole scenario and standard pricing of other service, since they are very bold with the statement as above they have to keep up their word, hope can see some real competition on pricing scheme.

is only 300MB/mth... but is free la....

well, lets wait and see. just keep our fingers crossed.
this company is very rich and world reknown, i wud say.
i hope they can deliver their promises. i'll be thankful even if its slightly better than our current providers....

god the use of emoticons in this thread is making my head spin! lol

+1 OP: Are you listening, although I may not like the way you approach, still I really hope you could use 'less' emoticons ... as our heads are little dizy.. and usually the emoticons drag us away from what you are saying....

of course loh this giant biz group got a giant 'water hose' to support them... unlike P1 keep seeking new fund injection ...

P1 can no longer enjoy its soley wimax provider any more, sure got another price war going on... wait for 18 October, then we all know the price, hopefully don't let us disappointed again...

I especially like this.

Access internet everywhere with a mobile internet wireless modem!

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.”

STREAMYX HAD TRIPLE PLAY BROADBAND WHILE YTL WIMAX WILL HAVE QUADRUPLE PLAY BROADBAND.






CHEERS TO ALL.

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.
