However, I feel people who tend to torrent and p2p at home, instead of going to movie theatre to pay for RM12 for a movie will be willing to pay for the service.

What if their pay-as-you go model charges as high as existing competitors?

i.e. the data usage for 5GB is Rm100, for example.

At any rate, wireless broadband is not meant to be unlimited. To get unlimited data, fixed line is the way to go.

u are half right. they do have internet service but it means the amount u paid is for internet service or phone service. so it's either one.

u can choose to make phone calls or choose to spend it on internet service.

or both

Do remember that a real 4G network is completely IP based meaning everything travels with data.

Observing how modern day SIP based voip providers operate, on-net calls can be totally unlimited with just a small monthly fixed fee.
Off-net calls can also be unlimited to fixed/mobile networks if pricing structure is right at RM150-200.
When a network is totally IP-based even an overseas call can be [b]FREE[/b]

Just like how you make a Skype call from Malaysia to a friend who might be in the Himalayas who happen to have a good internet connection as well.
Since both uses the same soft app, Skype, your calls will be FREE.

The internet has no boundaries.It'll only get better with speed.

But then we are still operating the per-minute calls over here with our ageing networks.

should i sign up for a 018 number?
cause it asked for my ic
not sure if it's okay to do so since (call me one of them frogs under the coconut shell but) i've never heard of ytl before

I clueless about their internet package and will wait after official launch to see how good their service.

wow, how many money 

registered edi... lets c wat happen this friday

I'm also using 4M at rm140 per month.Plan to take YES for office usage because too many blocked website.But have to wait for teh confirmation about the auto subscription .The device itself already almost Rm100.

The phone itself is about RM599.You can use the phone as modem for your laptop.

If i want to use a hardware VPN firewall....than how...?
The phone does not has a built-in hardware firewall and it is connect to laptop by USB cable.
but the hardware VPN firewall only has a WAN port and four LAN port.

it's still depand ur usage :/ if u use less pay less, use more pay more

rm 30 still affordable :/ it's the lowest entry cost

It encourages to use more but at the same time use less also okay. I think the idea is not bad after all.

However I do have suspicion on:

1. If I don't retain usage of RM30 per month, what will happen?
2. In order to get this month rebate on next month, is that means the next month also need to retain usage of RM30 as well or it can be 0?
3. If this month rebate is RM50 and my next month usage is RM30, is that means I can have free credit of RM20 or it will be zeroed?
4. If there is credit in my account, let say RM10 and I decide not to use, is that means I will lose the RM10 and cannot cash it?

1. they will auto credit rm 30 on ur credit limit. Just to keep ur ID active
2. their min usage for every month is rm30
3. take a example, u got FREE rebate rm 50, and u left Rm30 Credit, if this current month, u nvr use their data, they will minus the rm 30 from ur rm 50 rebate, and they will bought forward ur rm 20 rebate to ur next month, and ur rm 30 credit to ur next month. They minus the Rebate first then ur Credit.
4. u will lose it,  and ur next month account limit will become 0.

the best way is go for tmr launch :/

yea. they will still charge u RM60. but remember, u dun have any more credit to credit..if they really provide good service. i think u will be easily hit their min usage of Rm30

From all the info i got thus far.... looks like NO... you need to buy all the device urself, with RM50 activation fee some more...

So minimum start-up price will be, at minimum, RM99 (for the USB modem)+RM50 (Activation Fee) = RM149 (plus first month RM30, may be) And RM10 stem duty... whatever thing, government sure share some "profit"

arghhh~ they put the time to be 4PM just now, now they delayed another 2 hours to 6pm. kanasai.

One good thing abt the yes launch is tat now the 3 celcos and tm can giv us better deals cause we hav more choices
