TM to implement HSBB 2 and SUBB
Thursday, 26 February 2015

KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd ™ announced the acceptance of a letter of award (LoA) from the Government for the implementation of the High Speed Broadband Phase 2 (HSBB 2) and Sub Urban Broadband (SUBB) projects.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, it said both projects were in collaboration with the Government to deploy the access and domestic core networks, to deliver an end-to-end HSBB infrastructure. – Bernama

11th Malaysia Plan: Broadband gets some love

MALAYSIAN Prime Minister Najib Razak announced six key thrusts under the 11th Malaysia Plan (11MP) to ensure the country hits its target of becoming a developed nation by 2020, and also announced further moves to expand high-speed broadband (HSBB) availability in the country.

Under two new infrastructure initiatives, households in state capitals and ‘high-impact growth areas’ will get 100Mbps broadband Internet connectivity, while rural areas will get 20Mbps broadband under the 11MP, the premier said. Efforts will be also be made through to drive down the cost of access.

Broadband moves

High-speed broadband is critical for economic growth, the 11MP report states. According to an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) 2012 report, a 10% increase in broadband penetration will contribute 0.7 percentage points increase in Malaysia’s GDP.

Under the 10MP, High Speed Broadband (HSBB) and Broadband for General Population (BBGP) initiatives were rolled out in several states, raising the national broadband penetration from 55.6% in 2010 to 70.2% in 2014.

ICT infrastructure in the public sector, previously managed by individual ministries, was consolidated into 1Gov*Net in 2012, a centrally-managed dedicated network connecting 10,552 out of 11,268, or nearly 94%, of all Federal Government buildings.

Under the 1BestariNet programme, efforts were made to provide connectivity to schools to support teaching and learning. A total of 10,132 schools were connected through fibre (nine schools), WiMAX (6,628 schools), Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (1,086 schools), Very Small Aperture Terminal (2,129 schools), and wireless (280 schools).

Under the 11MP, the Government targets broadband infrastructure to reach 95% of populated areas, and to make broadband more affordable, targeting subscription prices at 1% of gross national income (GNI) per capita for fixed-lined broadband.

During the period in question (2016-2020), key infrastructure initiatives such as High-Speed Broadband 2 (HSBB 2) and Sub-Urban Broadband (SUBB) will be undertaken, along with policies to improve access pricing and consumer protection frameworks.

Strategy C2: Increasing affordability and protection for consumers through an improved Access Pricing Framework (APF) and setting standards for consumer protection;

If terminate after applying you have to pay the penalty (package price * remaining months). Also from what the operator told me, the special discounted price is only applicable for Unifi + HyppTV package.

Hi guys

Was wondering if you have seen price cuts for VIP10? Because there was an announcement on LowYat forum front page saying that VIP10 will reduce price from 15 July 2015 but I have yet to see any place where I can apply at this price?

Thanks.

well i think they signed some hsbb expansion part 2 or something, which is 10 years for completion. maybe the progress to expand is still ongoing ?

also don't forget the work on the SKR1M undersea cable to connect the peninsular to borneo with a fiber optic cable

so anyway as you can see there is a lot being done atm to improve our national broadband network.

But biggest question is, will a company like myrepublic that is planning on offering 100mbps for between rm 60-70 be allowed to operate in malaysia sometime between 205-2018 ?

specifically this under the 11th mp
if not, then we are screwed 

Hi Sifus,

Have a question to ask, if I just upgraded to VIP10 from VIP5 only last year and still within contract of VIP10, can I upgrade to the 30Mbps or 50Mbps plan without penalty? Or they will have to have me to terminate my current contract with penalty, then only can apply for the new packages? 
thanks,

You can upgrade if you are within the coverage. Once upgrade, your 24-month contract shall restart again.

Then at least by then after the 2 years, we can see if the new player MyRepublic can live up to its hype.

“IT is a spectacular win for us and I am thrilled,” Malcolm Rodrigues (pic), founder and chief executive officer of Singapore-based fixed broadband provider MyRepublic, told Digital News Asia (DNA) on seasoned telco veteran Michael Lai joining his team.

“I used to worry about Malaysia, but now with Lai in charge of our fund-raising and new market entry, I don’t worry about Malaysia anymore. He knows everybody in the market and our Malaysia business plan will go very well with him at the helm,” said Rodrigues.

Malaysian Lai joins MyRepublic, a disruptive broadband player that started out in Singapore in 2011 and entered the New Zealand market late last year, as its chief development officer.

Besides helping with fund-raising, Lai will be responsible for MyRepublic’s entry into Malaysia and Cambodia. The company is also entering the Australian market soon.

Lai was with an Indonesian broadband player, Innovate Indonesia, before joining MyRepublic.

“It’s not the size of the company but rather the responsibilities that come with the job that matter. If I were to sum it up in one word, it would be ‘Challenge.’ ... I’m consistently looking to break new barriers.

“This is what keeps me going and my adrenaline flowing – to be in the forefront and the coming age of the next big thing,” he said then.

Having joined MyRepublic, clearly Lai feels offering blazing fast fibre broadband at a fraction of the costs of incumbent players is what will get his adrenaline racing. And he knows he will find a receptive market in Malaysia.

It said Lai made P1 the Southeast Asia showcase for 4G deployments and secured P1 representation on high profile international bodies such as the Global WiMAX Forum Board and the Global TD-LTE Initiative Steering Committee. Under Lai's leadership, it said P1 reached positive profits since the last quarter of 2011, which is the fastest telco to do so in Malaysia.

How long for the contract?

thanks for the information sifus!!! after reading the past few pages of this thread, i think it is best that i wait till september and see what is up with TM's offer and decide whether or not to jump to 30Mbps or 50Mbps. 

whats this about full llu (local loop unbundling). is this due in 2015-2016 when tmnuts hsbb monopoly in agreement expires ?
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/801570/all

Yup, thats a wise thing to do...many of us are doing the same....Sept where are you?!!! 

Isnt that for copper only with max speed of ADSL2+ @24 Mbits? So how to offer 50/100/1000 Mbits?
Is the fiber network that TM is building now to offer >24Mbits part of that? I don't think so.

By the time they unbundle the copper network, I believe TM would have covered all the major cities with fiber to offer speeds in excess of 24Mbits that they control. Sure, ADSL prices will drop then but it will be like a 1 Mbits Streamyx user today versus people who are on 10/20 Mbits Unifi?
