i'm talking about the roll out model of 1G to 5G.
u comparing the usage/use case of 1G to 5G.

1G to 5G roll out also got mixture of government intervention vs telco owned.

Ironically, I already highlight the potential "merging" situation in Malaysia telco industry on previous post.
But in reality, telco themselves already being push by the society to push down the prices, what DNB do is giving these MNOs breathing space to continue exist because what gonna happen otherwise is something that already happen before, which is the merging of the MNOs company.[/quote]

u know why the original merger between digi & celcom took place?
bcoz experts agree that too many saturated telecom providers in m'sia.
in contrast, USA being a big country by area, with 10x the population of m'sia also has like 3 real bug players only.
now look at smaller country Singapore, technically only 2 real big players, hence the competition is there.
m'sia size & population, ideally u'll want 2-3 big players for competition


DNB, while sounds good & fair on paper, but it totally eliminate any 5G competition whatsoever.
every1 gets the same coverage, the same speed.
we need a 2nd 5G network where telecom players has more control, hence driving competition & innovation.
i'm waiting to see which telco will introduce true SA 5G first.
current DNB NSA 5G is nvr true 5G & always just a stop gap solution.

u can literally tell the different telco 4G coverage & speed.
telco also introduce 4G+, & various bands biding that pushes 4G speed more than 100+ Mbps.
when 4G was first launched, it was like 20-40 real world speedtest.
at the same time, cost per gigabite of 4G also reduced a lot compared to when first launched.

if u stick wit DNB only, most likely u:ll use the same tech, get the same speed (if not slower when it's congested) throughout the DNB contract period.
price also same cuz the agreement fixed the ceiling price per gigabit for the duration of contract.
we'll nvr get to experience true 5G tech wit DNB.

umobile used to ride on maxis infra in early days.
nowadays umobile has built their own infra, but i'm not sure if still partly ride on maxis infra, i suspect they do.

fyi, nowadays umobile also has partnership wit TIME.
so by buying umobile, we might even see maxis leverage on TIME infra.
as for umobile board, no board members will turn away free money.

if such accusation does happen, it will take many years & lobbying with the lawmakers.
most importantly is need to get the go ahead from government.

u wan fair, u should compare the median speed 2 years after the 2nd 5G network roll out vs DNB after 2 years.

our 5G now looks good on paper, speedtest fast on local server.
go international server, sometimes slower than 4G.
current 5G is only good enough for sequential download.

that's y we need true 5G.
DG 5G median speed is slower than MY.
but if u actually go there to experience Singtel 5G for example, i guarantee the experience is more pleasant than any telco in MY.
probably cuz better latency with NSA.

4G wasn't the best is m'sia.
but if the roll out is like current 5G, i would argued that it would hav be worst.
but this is something we will nvr find out.

u dont need a genius to know that competition always drives progress.
& that is the number 1 thing that is lacking wit DNB single wholesale rollout. there're just aren't any competition at all.
ask yourself this, in your years of experience in terms of work, society, as consumer, hav u ever seen good things comes out of no competition?

also, NSA 5G is just a quick & "cheat" way to deploy 5G & expand coverage.
somewhere down the road, u'll still need to deploy true SA 5G.
& we're heading to the right direction now.
wit 2d 5G network, telco will duke it out to deploy SA 5G in densely populated cities, while current NSA 5G for wider coverage to rural area.

TLDR;
the more gohmen intervention, the crappier the service.
just like DNB.

i take it as u hav not been through corporate merger.
the process of merging is very unstable & rough to begin wit.
takes few years to stabilize the whole company.
then when stabilize, they will start to reduce headcount of those duplicate jobs.

hahaahahaha
u think the upper management level really knows exactly what's going?
company will always tell u everything is fine even if it's on fire.
that's due to 2 reason:

1) the main purpose is to protect company stock value. if u com out & say something is bad, stock sure laosai.

2) oftentimes, upper management doesn't really knows the issue down bellow & thinks everything is doing smooth.
that bcoz partly fault of middle management, which u can say part of their job is feed good news to upper management, makes them feel good.
