Internet can push business to max but Ipoh-KL Double Railway only can be used to save time from KL-Ipoh by train. And how many got car to go by them self ? Do people from Sabah or Sarawak benifits from that RM 13 billion project ? Only Central citizen will used this train & again who didnt have their own transport. Crap again.. Sorry guys being emotional, the figures doesnt make sense.

Hmm a bring back to earth article written by internet Father of Malaysia. Quite intrested on JARING's to bounce back with WiMAX together with SOMA? ( http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=117293 ).
BTW, I include the article for the reading below :
Towards WiMax
Till these days, hype on WiMax is never ending. I still see media reports promising 50 Mbps bandwidth for up to 70 km radius of coverage. Such performance may be possible only if there is only one user using a WiMax base station which is going to be a very expensive proposition! WiMax cannot solve all broadband problems. There are limits of what it can do. If we can get to share 20 Mbps within up to two km radius, we should be ecstatic. With such performance, to provide 20% of coverage for the whole of Malaysia (with a total land area of 330,000 sq km) it would require at least 5,000 base transmission stations (BTS). If a BTS only manages to provide good coverage within one km radius, the figure would increase to a staggering 20,000 BTS. Assuming 10,000 BTS are required and each one would cost RM 250,000, the total investment would be RM 2.5 bil (excluding the end-user devices and civil works)! With a possibility of 2 mil subscribers, the cost per subscriber would be RM 1,250. But the margin of error in the number of BTS could be as high as 100%. [Note: The above figures are for illustration only.]. Does this make sense? I leave it to the readers to ponder.
