DiGi is no more the company which is vibrant and aggressive like it used to be 2 years ago. Nowadays they recruit lots of locals and those people of special privileges because of the pressure. Their creativity is starting to lack already.

One good example is their corporate image is no longer pure yellow but a mixture of green and yellow now. If you received their latest postpaid bills you'll see the envelope cover. The use of Yellowman has toned down.

nop... their corporate color is still yellow and they're adopting a 'green concept' and its a company-wide campaign.
on the envelope color, well, this month's theme for the envelope is the insurance policy thingy, so basically to says that you're protected even in the jungle.
They have a different ads on the billing envelope every month, nothing is wrong with that.
Well, you should observe better.
What kind of pressure are they having? The pressure of going number 2 in the market?
Or the pressure of launching 3G in time? Recruitment of locals and special privileges because of pressure?
I don't see your point of pressure there.

Creativity has gone down, yea, this I would agree, but they had been restricted from 3G from the beginning when others, including Umobile had the license few years back.
With 3G coming, I believe they could offer more.....

Having Digi to offer 3G is definitely a great idea to drive the mobile broadband to the next level. As we can see Maxis, Celcom and U Mobile have been offering the service for a few years but to an extend I will say it's a pity and not utilizing the technology to its fullest. I hope Digi will be able to introduce some innovation to how to use the 3G services the mobile broadband way.

Or maybe the mobile operators don't have adequate experience in selling broadband and they have been miscalculating the customer experience in the broadband world.

If you ask me, I will say Digi moving in to the 3G now is a little too late judging that in less than 5 years, LTE will surface, can Digi gets their ROI back from 3G in 5 years? We can ask Maxis and Celcom the same question.

Digi 3G is now got more coverage.

Just visit friend place, Shah Alam Giant.
The signal can be detect where did not on last week.

ya really they starting logging other place already hehe i am also the 1 digi bb memember now

Agreed... the RM650mil is solely for the 3G license..
Soon more and more foreign co will be out of this bolehland..

Can detect the 3G signal but cannot use right?

Can.

Not only divesting their shares, DiGi is also forced to hire many unwanted people as well as local unis to satisfy a certain quota. It'll eventually become another green Maxis.

Ketupat is green in color.

i'm sorry but this is the most ludicrous statement i have read so far...why would any private sector company be forced to hire unwanted people?

Ok sorry to use the word unwanted too harsh, better word it as less capable.

You asked why private companies are forced to hire these people. Don't you know that people need to make a living?

lol ur statement still doesnt explain why their forced to hire.

lol!
bro, i hope you get what you yourself if writing about.
What quota they need to satisfy?
Number of locals in a foreign company?
You don't have any facts to backup your claims.

What do you mean by foreign company?
DiGi is listed under the Malaysian stock exchange.
Do I need to explain further about the quotas in Malaysian companies?

DiGi is not a foreign company but Telenor is.

Why Telenor was not allowed to retain their company name in Malaysia unlike their Pakistan operations?
Is Telenor allowed to take full control of DiGi?

I remember reading that they were required to divest their 60% shares soon in DiGi to allow locals to share control.

sorry for the confusion then, should say as the majority stakeholder is not a local.
Oh, DiGi is a MNC and not a local one like Celcom and Maxis. So do you get the drift there?
Telenor still owns 49% of DiGi.

well, some of Telenor ops does not use their own name, so don't make it sounds like they're being forced to use another name.
In Thailand, they're known as DTAC, Serbia is ProMonte, Bangladesh is Grameenphone, Denmark is known as Sonofon and few others.
So does all the others ops in another countries being forced to adopt another name?

it is nt about the name~

what cameltoe say is about % of share they can have or something like that....more simple NEP.....figure yourself



answer is NO....as you say it urself(kelvin88)....Telenor only owns 49% of DiGi as of now

I think we should support digi in order to make digi the better out of it, i believe this promotion release is to see the feedback from the new customers about the digi internet. after all, if you understand the business marketing strategy, statistics and analysis must come first before launching its ultimate master plan. i can see they are making a change and opportunities for a new era of mobile internet broadband in malaysia as they quoted "rediscover what broadband should be" fits well in their vision. They are pushing their competitors' limit by offering 7.2mb/s, it's the only personal used broadband that offers such speed. If their service is good and satisfaction guaranteed, i doubt that malaysians would not pay more for such quality speedy service. As i was browsing through the feedback in this thread, it seems rather promisingly enough that many are satisfied with digi internet. I hope all of us would give their full pledge support towards digi. correct me if i'm wrong in my views above.

the problem is not how fast they can offer... what we concern is the minimum speed they can offer
