According to teh MCMC, the 3.4 to 3.7GHz pectrum can be shareb by fixed terretsrial and satellite operators and in cased of interference, the one who got it first has priority, or so that’s what I understand from MCMC documents.

RE: C-Band spectrum and MEASAT 3.

I mean’t the provision of fixed wireless broadband and communication services to the general population should take priority over provision of satellite communication services to corporations.

The extended frequencies 3.4 to 3.7 GHz can be shared by satellite operators and fixed terrestrial wireless opperators.

The satellite operators could use the spectrum for Extended C-Band communications among other things, while the fixed wireless operators would use them for service like WiMAX.

These frequencies are used for the downlink, meaning staellite to ground part of the comunications, while the uplink (ground to statellite) uses frequencies around 5 and 6GHz which are out of the way.

Since the 3.4 – 3.7GHz band is shared frequency, in case of interference, the one who got the spectrum first has priority, according to the MCMC or so I understand from their documents.

However yes, MEASAT may have got it first, so legally speaking, they have the right to it but since various operators have already spent over RM400 million, they have a case to argue why they were given the spectrum, when it could interfere with Measat 3′s VSAT downlink.

Notwithstanding the regulations, the possible disruption to provision of broadband and other communications services to the general population as a result of its withdrawl, should take priority over provision of satellite communication services mainly to corporations.

Do you think that there is any transparency in what Lim Keng Yaik and Halim Shafie is doing?

I feel that they are just doing what the rest of the politicians are doing : filling up their pockets to the max!

Why are we going against international trend? Islam Hadhari said so? Corruption? NEP? Or just plain stupid?

Singapore already has ADSL broadband at 25MB as of April 2007. Offered by Singtel.
Cable modem broadband running at 100MB.
Wireless running at 3.6MB

Bangkok already ADSL broadband at 10MB.

Malaysia? Snail version of 1MB for majority with limited and expensive 2MB for businesses.
There is wireless 3.6MB offering on the way but with this latest information, i believe it will all dead.

Like former President Clinton who said he never had sex with that woman, Najib is now saying he never met that woman.

Being seen apparently walking and apparently in the company of individuals which included the murdered victim does not mean “he has met her”. Like Clinton it depends on what Najib meant when he said, “I never met that woman”.

That was what I thought years ago.

Until I get to hear the ‘confessions’ of a masseuse working at Hotel Merlin, Kuala Lumpur.

The least he could do is “pretend”. If the govt can screw us and fool us with the many fake datas like NEP %, am sure they can pay the russians another rm90mil to get it done and then credit our towering astroNUT. In Msia, anything can be done as long as there is NO Integrity and when there is money.

“Mr Najib is perhaps the most whispered against politician in Malaysia – however he is also one of the most astute.

Analysts say it would have been extraordinary if he had allowed himself to become embroiled in such a gruesome affair. “

This is the first time Mr Najib has commented on the killing

By Jonathan Kent
BBC News, Kuala Kumpur

Malaysia’s deputy prime minister has broken his silence over attempts to link him to a gruesome murder.

Najib Razak has denied having any connection with the killing, and says he never met the murdered woman, Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu.”

The presence of 1,500 policemen – is this another sign that policemen are nothing but BN’s office boys?

FROM BERNAMA:

“In MELAKA, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said voters in Ijok should not worry to come out to cast their votes this Saturday.

Police had assigned 1,500 officers and personnel to maintain order during the by-election, he said.”

But I don’t think that guy will be up to it. Now he’s just going for an expensive jaunt.

Are you kidding me? Are there civil servants being sacked at all for their mistakes or crimes in the past 50 years?

IN UMO’s dictionary, there is no words like “accountability”.

Who cares for the mistakes? Buying and putting another satelite into space will create another chance to make some cuts!

C’mon, Ku Nan, time to make another apology or press denial for coming out with another ‘katak-dibawah-tempurong’ blooper: Malaysians ‘have everything at home, why travel abroad.’.

Sure, Ku Nah, with you around, who needs anything else but to screw around!

FROM BERNAMA:

“Departure Card Meant For Research, Not For Security Reasons”

PETALING JAYA, April 23 (Bernama) — The proposal by the Tourism Ministry to introduce a departure card is not for security reasons but to find out why Malaysians go overseas.

Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the ministry would like to know whether Malaysians went abroad for holiday or other reasons as no study had been conducted on it before.

“It has nothing to do with security. We merely want to know why Malaysians travel abroad when we have everything at home,” he told reporters after chairing the Tourism Development National Committee meeting, here Monday.

Not a good idea at all! The more our 90 Millions AstroNut try to fix it, the worst it will become. Now raining day no Astro, after “fixing”, you wun see Astro even in bright sun shine days!

Leave him alone, let him make roti canai and teh tarik as planned.
