Hey people, just discovering this DiGi thread here. Anyways, some opinion of my opinion

that fiber-optic network is the key to dominate the broadband market...... but then also hard to utilised it...... TM did offer to buy it many times but they refuse to sell.....maybe in this case they might be also refusing to let digi touch the fiber-optic who knows?
Well, the fiber optics is a good infrastructure to tap in, but since this is not really a merger of 2 companies, TDC would probably still charge DiGi for leasing the fiber(should they choose to use it). Perhaps at a lower cost, perhaps not. It could be the case of other fiber companies that still charges their parent company for the usage of the fiber, even though the parent company have acquired them.

That's what I'm worrying for DiGi after they traded their shares for Time. When people in there get replaced, DiGi
may not be as good as it is now; Poor customer service, little benefits, poor cellular services etc.
Hopefully the good qualities in DiGi will remain, if it does not improve.
According to a comment by the CEO, people in both companies don't get replaced just like that. The key term here is "joint business development" I believe, and in this case, sharing of infrastructure where benefits, or in profitable business plans. Telenor apparently would still have a stronghold in DiGi (judging by some internal decisions made) and customer experience is above all, the most important aspect looked upon now by DiGi. Which is why DiGi doesn't even plan to expand it's operations out of Malaysia, as Maxis did, and instead will concentrate on further improving the quality of the customer experience of DiGi.
I do believe people should read and understand the business news more carefully, before speculating things such as DiGi merging/DiGi buying over TDC and stuffs like that.
