Look forward to this to change our nation's broadband policy

Wise business practice will tell you that whatever venture myrepublic is going to do here won't be one where they start from scratch. In all likelihood, they will come into the market by subsuming into a current established, but not entirely successful broadband concern like, maybe, Redtone or YTL e-solutions or maybe both.

They will get a headstart that way and use whatever presence and infrastructure the existing company already has. Think of how BP became BHP, Esso and Mobil became Petron, and Carrefour became Aeon.

It makes sense that way.

But in any case, I am not going to argue, debate or waste my energy speculating about what can, will or should happen. I'll just wait until the service, if any, becomes a real product in the market.

Kind of how I couldn't care less what Time Telecom were doing or promising until their Time Fibre Broadband service for consumers became a reality and were a legitimate alternative to TM-Unifi/Streamyx and Maxis Broadband for many people. The other bit-part players like ABNxcess and PenangFon by OCE need not apply.

in 2015 the tm hsbb exclusivity agreement will expire, so govt will ask tm to open access to every player.

i personally hope that mcmc will not fcuk this up

So b4 year-end TM would be aggressively promoting UNIFI so as to lock up new users for 2 years.

And TM has HSBB2 and SUBB in the following years

It will be great if this is true

also hoping Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water don 'block' or undermine myrepublic effort to provide far affordable yet high speed broadband that has long been waited in decades by all Malaysian

dream it... won't happen in Malaysia.
TM will do whatever to stop the company bring in.

and myrepublic is optical service player... but mostly our Malaysia running ADSL.. so its hard for it to success.

Nice Thread!!Hopefully Myrepublic come in with cheapest internet!

I won't get my hopes "too high" , although i appreciate new player comes into the play with wholesome goodness of 100Mbps at a very affordable price, i sure ain't gonna buy it if there's some gotcha's etc: quota in placed (fair n reasonable quota are tolerable).

Have a glance to the rest of the world ISP's , every major ISP's are enforcing quota bandwidth on an astonishing speed or suffer the reduced speed (which what the current ISP is doing atm) with no quota being enforced.

Very true, but somehow because we are dealing with Malaysians, high bandwidth + quota = government's fault!

I will be thrilled to see this happen.
If it did, TM is going to get rekt, but tho coverage in East Malaysia is certainly very limited for the time being. I really hope they are going to put extra efforts to extend Fibre networks.

For now, finger crossed.

Internet plans need more attention from everyone to deter gov + TM strategy to overtake our saturated market.

WE NEED MORE COMPETITORS!

hopefully it would come to Malaysia, can't wait to change my antique 8 mbps BB

u guys dream to much
