Wimax itself in Malaysia is not yet proven to be profitable.
Actually I a bit doubt on some broadband offered outside of the original telco company, wireless broadband is facing several compeitition, streamyx, 3G, Wimax. While current market is dominated by ADSL (streamyx) and 3G connection, for Wimax to penetrate into them is not easy task, especially not from origin telco company backing.
Broadband business in Malaysia even some other countries are not that lucrative, you need large base of customers which is the most important factor to offset high set up cost for broadband service.
While HP business is a lucrative business.
I might be wrong, feel free to correct me.

As an internet user, free Wi-Fi is available nationwide, I don't know how do they profit maybe eateries cafe offer it to get more customer, I don't really mind of the speed as long as I can stay connected outside, but if I really need to download anything I would have use my home ADSL instead of Wi-Fi or even a faster WiMax cause I know the speed sucks + delay + different location different results of the Wireless connection provided.. Unless they can introduce a more stable wireless connection that can beat a home line.
I've used Digi and Celcom wireless, randomly WiFi outside, tested at different location with speedtest.net the ping is much more higher than home line. Well this is just a view from online gamer myself xD
