Last time GPacket just sold SONAccess to Maxis in a one-off deal, and that's all.

And you don't call that partner.

i dun think those Bizsurf and MIB and redtone will doing well after they get wimax licence.
we can see how the 3G licence winner performance in past year and now, soo suck after they get the 3G licence.
Everything eg.3G/HSDPA, wimax are not revolution due to govt suck decision until they 100% really fair open their policies.

BizSurf is owned by YTLe and MIB is owned by GPacket.
GSM deployment is more complicated than WiMAX, just in case you didn't know that.

Do you know how many WiMAX vendors are there? And how many GSM equipment vendors are there?

It's just not fair to compare like that.

Just sit back and see how the deployment goes.

Oh noes... Here's what Green Packet's CEO said to TheStar:

Sorry la... I think we common folks will have to take the back seat. Corporate customers come first.

Furthermore, an analyst comment:

Interoperability, huh? Operator roaming is out of the question for now. Furthermore, customers cannot easily switch service. Open standard, my foot.

Today oriental newspaper talk about WIMAX, Wi-Fi only can reach 54mbps, coverage 100m while WIMAX can up to 74mbps and coverage 4800m. It stated the speed should be more than 1mbps or above.

How about 3G HSDPA? If the speed compare with WIMAX? I knew that Maxis now got 3G HSDPA, can this service use in nokia N series phone? And what is the speed? Thank you!

They say that wimax is for data and 3g is for voice communication.

I think gov really serious about this. This is because 3g is more expensive to developed than wimax.

i dont look forward to it.

even if they promise us 1mbps

I DONT THINK THEY ABLE TO PROVIDE US 24 HOURS MAX SPEEED 1 MBS UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH

it's the price will be RM60 for 1m or 2mb like penangfon

Although Im excited to see what these companies have to offer us, im more excited to see what TMNet have to do in order to keep its customer from switching to these 4 companies. So, far from reading from the Star, only GP and YTL have a lot more monies to spent than the other 2.

How's the TMnet? Did they loose the WiMAX tender?

well, if the best effort basic is listed in the contract don't get your hope to high. i wonder if TMnet will try to maintain and fix their system so we don't go to other ISP.

i dun think tat tmnet would further improving their services...they will jus say tat will keep saying tat they have a good track record n very efficent to boast la.its normal la. they ady monopolized ma.
malaysian way especially
then this new wimax ppl..what they do is high price but low bandwith..cant help it coz of the high operation cost lo
but hope things turn out alrite 4 these companies..n this tmnut get the biggest pinch of their life!!!hahah

Have faith bro... have faith that tmnet will topple.

People, we do not want TmNut to topple. We want Tmnet to be subjected to competition so that they can offer better service charge cheaper. We do not want the stuck up Tmnut.

The way I see it, and from my understanding, Wimax is cheaper to implement than 3G, and perhaps ADSL broadband. The infrastructure cost is low because they only need to build transmission towers instead of doing cabling like what Tmnut is doing now. I'd wish these Wimax provider would give good service and Tmnut will surely be pressured to do better than what they are doing now.

Let us all pray the WiMax provider would compete with Tmnut.....resulting in price war. In the end, it is us that are going to benefit from this.

I would pray that once WiMax gets up and running ....we could see TmNut giving away 10 Mbps for Rm20 p month perhaps....hopefully that day will come, pray hard hard.

Now, there are 3 Wimax operator in peninsula, in addition to Nasioncom and Airzed.

Let c who going to fire the first slavo and provide affordable Broadband.

Tmnut might end up being the winner here

Very well said and to the point. We "urbanites" shouldn't underestimate the rural folks, though. They got more spending power than us urbanites, and I'm sure they already know about P2P and YouTube. With less financial commitments than the city folks and plenty of free time, they can afford broadband for all we know. Just give them broadband and they'll surely catch up sooner than we'd expect.

HSDPA is not 3G, it's 3.5G
Which N series phone?

TMNet already happily operating in 2.5 Ghz, the penetration rate is more or less the same as 2.3.

I think they r just gonna f**k this one up like everything else...the bottom line is money....nobody gives a damn...

Grab all they can and go...nothing has started they already talking about penetration....counting profit already.

How come asiaspace got the licence? If they are the tower leasing operator then they should be a neutral party by offering tower leasing only. How they can be fair to other operator that want to put WiMax eqpt at their towers? Fishy ehh....

I've mentioned it earlier regarding the financial capabilities of these companies. Roll sub-par service first, if got problem then ask someone to bail them out. The big 3 telco always willing to help due to the spectrum allocations. Ka chingg...

Which company going to bungkus first? I'm betting on Redtone.

Too early to tell, and lack of info on which vendor they've opted for. So far, we only know that Green Packet is providing the technology for MIB Comm and it's not even WiMAX standard....

Unker Lim also said:Source: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...1118&sec=nation

So I guess even if these companies bungkus early, they won't be penalized. Nice huh?
