so do i... but i dun take the sign life part... hehehe

Chances of Apple caring how Maxis Data plans are is next to zero. We dont even have an actual Apple presence in Malaysia, only resellers. They probably dont even know or care about what's happening in these parts of the world.

hahahahah agreed. apple might know, but not a big issue expect for iphone EDGE that is being sold by their resellers... which is why the warning came and hardly see any reseller has iphone (except taking from dealer)..

Well, he said that they're in negotiations so there are obviously no definite rate plans/pricing of phone yet. Nobody would count their chickens that soon.

What is definite though is that the ruling this August/Sept is going to entirely change the way telcos conduct their businesses. I'm very much looking forward to this. I've been wanting to change to DIGI for the EDGE plan for my 1st Gen iPhone for ages but can't because a lot of my contacts have my current number.

And all this is a huge incentive for the Big 3 to fight to bring the iPhone in. Think about it, the windfall reaped will be tremendous...

Oh and he said Maxis is adopting a wait-and-see strategy to this whole thing after Aug/Sept so that's why it probably won't be in until next year or something like that. I can't remember because at this point I was still ecstatic at the words "Oh and we're going to bring the iPhone in as well.."


Nothing's set in stone yet of course but this is the best indicator of an official iPhone here in a long time so fingers crossed..

If that is the case, I hope Maxis(or whoever snagged this) can follow Australia's move on bringing out those with "parallel imported" iPhones to sign up with their plans at much discounted rates, while still using their own BYO iPhones. Penalising early adopters ,especially those who would be major contributors and users of your offered bandwidth/data plans would not be wise.

They dont make money from the hardware, but from the subscription plans.

In fact, I would say that is THE strategy to adopt if they're wise. You don't have to pay the subsidy for the iPhone and can still have users on the same rate plan.

Win-Win situation, definitely..

The ball in in their court, let's see how they play it.

Topic Merged.
