TM plans to use its 800MHz spectrum as its LTE frequency band and more importantly, it aims to have 100,000 users on its wireless LTE network by 2014 and more than one million by 2017.
Zamzam says a fixed line network will provide consumers with pipes to utilise heavy content and applications at home or at the office.
“Meanwhile, wireless services provide consumers the flexibility to access broadband on the go.
In fact, by increasing the rate of broadband penetration in the country, all providers stand to gain bigger shares from the larger pie.
“Hence, there is a place for fixed broadband and mobile broadband in every customer needs.
“Fixed broadband provides better quality of experience as demonstrated now by UniFi but for broadband access whilst on the move, customers can be served by mobile broadband.”
He says the wireless players that are rolling out their 4G networks are not without their own set of challenges, which he identified as limited capacity due to tremendous growth in data and Internet traffic.
He says as operators pump up the speed at the air interface they need to start paying attention to backhaul to make sure the rest of the network can keep up.

Bring it on TM, TM can easily kill every competitor.If TM kills every competitor, don't expect any price reduction anytime soon and the era of limited quota ruling will be fully implemented.
When P1 first launched their company, they were so agressive that TM had to go all out to compete with so many attractive bundles such as PC/Notebook deals, student deals and Streamyx in a box deals.
Now since they're already enjoying a full monopoly with fixed lines, you can see how lazy they're already getting.
Regarding the news you quoted, actually the reporter was testing the understanding of TM's own directors knowledge on what clearly differentiates between
a fixed line broadband and mobile broadband.
He tries to avoid answering it directly or he's just too greedy to keep pleasing his shareholders.
The true difference between a fixed broadband network and mobile broadband plan is actually the
UNLIMITED QUOTA use. With mobile broadband, you should only stick your SIM inside your phone/tablet all the time thus the use of volume quota to limit your usage to prevent abuse.
