RAO ni ape? I cuba baca from soya cincau but cannot understand. Use a lot of data gonna get cheaper internet ke?
MSAP is the standard base pricing applicable to industry-wide.RAO is formulated based on MSAP. It detail the costs for one to connect to a telco, to an ISP. RAO is player-specific. TM have its own RAO. Maxis have its own RAO. etc etc. Because each have their own different cost.
So basically when playerX want to lease, connect, etc etc from playerD, then RAO of playerD will be used to determine the pricing. So that everyone gets consistent pricing, not just based on suka-suka letak harga.

the MSAP 2023 is supposed to halve the cost of playerX leasing internet through playerD.

the outcry from TM's RAO is, instead of making it flat pricing for everyone, TM is now making it cheaper if playerX buy more volume, and more expensive if buying less gigabyte volume.
that invariably means, if your ISP with smaller customer base is using HSBB network, it might not be able to afford giving you discount as originally intended by MSAP, because it is impossible for your ISP to commit to larger and cheaper amount of gigabytes it cannot sell.
all that talk about promoting competing ISPs to become more creative with their sales and pricing is just bollocks. i.e. if you want to open new company selling fibre subscription, you better have large capital to grow your customer base and grow your commitment to be cheaper. unifi should already make calculation that the tier is beneficial to them, being the largest right now. competitors will have to throw money into enlarging their customer base (to make it possible to commit to cheaper volume). it's can be seen as barrier of entry erected by TM, and a increased cost pressure on existing smaller competitors.
you can see inside the soya's articles, that the opposite of MSAP happens; while previous MSAP did drive price down, the tiered pricing in the RAO released by TM did the opposite, causing price to exceed the previous price.
