Their the ones who have the contract to build it, not Tmnut. So yes i don't doubt it will be finished by 2008 doh.gif (hopefully). It's more believable anyway. Remember Japanese are very hard working, unlike us...
Ok what i really want to know is we all know how much tmnut invested, but does anyone know what the agreement states ? Just how much of the capacity will malaysia get ? Facts not speculation preferably.

1.39 Tb of bandwidth.

50 million is a part of 1.8 billion.

Since I'm too lazy to count this night, I shall say uh... we would get around 30 to 40 gigabits bandwidth? LOL

Unless, it is on rental basis, let's see how much profit they will gain.

Sooo 50 million is.... less than 3% of the share(again, I'm too lazy to count, so let me just give the rough value).


Tell me how much does a gigabit costs, and I'll give you how much profit tmnet would gain. Since gigabit link servers cost around 2000 dollars (or less, this is from a thought value, since I found out a 300 to 500 Mb server to cost around 800 dollars), let's think about it then tongue.gif .

How did we end up with the RM 50 million figure? I've gone through all the articles posted here about it as well as The Star. None mention the figure contributed by TM Net. Can the thread starter please provide more clarification?

** Someone already posted an estimation on how much share of the bandwidth we would be getting based on the assumption of RM 50 million/RM 2 Billion ratio on page 2.

Read the whole thread man, the topics merged. Mine is quite accurate for an estimation biggrin.gif .

I think TM is doing the right thing. The way intercontinental cable systems work is that major telco operators SHARE the cost of construction and maintenance of the network. So, since the cable is expected to run from SE Asia all the way to the West Coast of the USA, paying $50m is proportionate to the SHARE of the bandwidth that TM will get. Bear in mind that bandwidth allocation is also a function of reciprocity i.e. how much traffic originates and terminates between destinations.

I don't think getting an extra 30 gigabits would even help a little on our country, unless they plan to have that $50 mil as a reason for discounts.

Plus, learn about the internet. In terms of how much we can upload and download, it is pretty much unlimited. We're talking about data transfers in terms of pipes anyway. The cable can download and upload 1.39 terabits (or is it?) of data at a time. To reduce the usage (hence more money for telco since they'll pay less for more customer) they would limit the amount of data the user can download.
