So i heard from Buletin Utama. Keng Yaik says it will cost 1.8b Ringgit, over 20000km long, and will be completed by December next year. TM only invested 50m Ringgit in this (lol?) while the rest are covered by other companies. Good news or bad news ?

Summary:

Asia-America Gateway (AAG) that will be finished by December 2008 will increase Malaysia's International bandwidth. So expect faster internet connection to overseas. 

Anyway below is just some interesting stuff to read, enjoy.

It's quite good that Malaysia is taking the initiative here. So i'm pretty optimistic for 2008 since tmnut is partnering with Verizon to deliver our 4mb broadband, and our international link will get a huge boost in bandwidth. Not only that, but i hear that the government is looking for companys by looking at their performance to see who will be fit to bridge the last mile for fiber optics in malaysia more news on that would be appreciated.
