What is the relation of building telco towers with providing WiMAX coverage? You can't even roll out properly at all. What's a laugh is that if AMAX claim to set up all the towers around the country, why is taking them so long to blanket WiMAX all over?
Even AMAX claim of covering the entire Klang Valley by 2008 is a laugh. Do you know how long does it take for Celcom, Maxis and Digi to cover Klang Valley? With ZERO visibility in the market, I wonder how would AMAX recoup their investment if there is any into the project.
because towers are important item in wireless backhaul. For me AMAX dont simply claim they have a tower and the work must be faster to give full coverage for klang valley. another thing you need to make sure that whatever service you give to customers try to avoid complaining. I think, that is Amax staff try to do now. Because if you install properly ant test it nicely before give to user service you can avoid a lot of maintenance. So the cost is most lower. You can ask who ever working in telco accounting, berpa banyak duit P1 keluar and berapa banyak duit asiaspace keluar utk coverage yg sama... saya rasa p1 keluar lebih byk. I already ask my friend who's working at P1 some of their basestation they need to go 7 to 10 times during implementation period. That's effect the cost... thats why intel give some money loan to P1...and in news they said INtel pump some money..not make MOU with p1.
Before this read one thread that said greenpacket is malaysia company. Bro...greenpacket is oversea company. if simply said P1 listed in bursa malaysia...so I can claim SATYAM is US company because they listed on NYSE.. apa raa...done wrote if you dont know... so we also can claim digi is malaysian company....(but digi is under telenor)....stupid la siapa yg cakap tu.... all of this company make money at malaysia and open a regional office. actually for wimax tender not P1 and YTL get this tender. (bizsurf and MIB Comm) that company are malaysian company...and P1 and YTL take over that company to become thier group....
Actually mr basher celcom, digi and maxis just take only a year to give coverage in klang valley...but to give full coverage including blind spot area they need to make a lot of planning and design step.. to make drive test in area that not have strong coverage...and also to check where the place that suitable to put their sector antenna...please go to MPH or Borders and find a book about Fundamental of RF engineering, Fundamental of Wimax, Fundamental of GSM,CDMA and HSDPA. and RF Planning and Design. javascript:emoticon(':hyper:')

You can't even reply a thread in proper malay language to protect your company.
To be exact, GPACKET is a local listed company.
To the subscribers, the service quality is always concern not the origin of the company, similarly most people don't support Proton

If you are in telco industry, you should know the 4 companies get their license not because of their capability anyway.
AMAX won't be able to survive unless they acquire external funding either from local or foreign big companies. Maybe TM will buy over AMAX

Hello mr p4n6,
May I ask u, if u from telco company or any company who suppose to get wimax license. For me its more better they award to that 4 companies. So we can avoid TM monopoly in broadband service.

ha ha ha... are already try the AMAX service?? so how you know they dont give good service quality...oooohhhh i forget..you just a book by its cover right...but all the wimax license company have a same cover...Just prove to us the bandwidth test for P1 Wimax and Amax...So we can see which one is better...just wrote2 without prove children 6years old can did it...
Another one, GPacket just listed in Bursa Malaysia...If you said GPacket are malaysia company...maybe I can said SATYAM is a US company...because they listed as a US local company... stupid la... ALL of that company invest in Malaysia... Motorola also have Motorola Technology at PJ... so motorola also local listed company?? how about ericcsson malaysia, digi and etc. Dont simply wrote if you not make a research or have a prove.
So right now we just wait and see if AMAX can survive or not... Because as I know AMAX sign MOU with TM and fiberail..SO I dont think so they can go down immediately. In my research.. YTL is very hard to survive. Because they said they already launched wimax at bukit bintang...after one the base station to show MCMC that they already launched is not at that place...where is the base station?

Intel Corp., the world's biggest computer chip maker, announced plans on Wednesday to close facilities in Malaysia, the Philippines and the United States.
The Santa Clara, California-based company said the moves were expected to affect between 5,000 and 6,000 employees worldwide.
"However, not all employees will leave Intel," the company said in a statement. "Some may be offered positions at other facilities."
Intel said it will close two assembly test facilities in Penang, Malaysia, and one in Cavite, Philippines, in addition to wafer production facilities in Santa Clara and Hillsboro, Oregon.
The closures, Intel said, will take place between now and the end of 2009.
The moves were designed to "align its manufacturing capacity to current market conditions," the company added.
Intel reported last week that the economic slowdown and slumping demand for personal computers sent net profit sharply lower in the fourth quarter of the year.
It said net profit in the last three months of the year plunged to 234 million dollars, down 90 percent from a year ago.
Intel has also warned that it expects even worse results this quarter than the previous three months, with an expected revenue of seven billion dollars.
