HSBB is designed not for TM to monopolize broadband (BB) business. TM role is more on providing BB infrastructure, lease the infrastructure on wholesale basis to any company wanted to provide BB services. If customers need BB service from Maxis on the HSBB for example, it is TM obligation to install a new CPE in customer premise and let them connect to Maxis.

All the while, anyone can be ISP. If you think last mile access fees is not competitive then try invest your own last mile network then you know it is not easy to “serve people needs”.. or be a little more creative by deploying wireless local loop in unlicensed band, a wireless LAN with properly configured channel will do the job.

The BB business opening up to competition, at least in the wireless segment. TM does not own a wimax license, nor a 3G license but never heard TM shouting it is unfair/uncompetitive. After a year, there is no comprehensive wimax roll out yet, with P1 only covering limited area of Klang Valley at horrible fees structure – like RM230/month for 2.3Mbps best effort!

Oppositions are questioning….why award to Telikom only….and UMNO guy….talk of the important reasons why such a broadband need to be set up….saying we are far behind…..developing countries around us.
It is waste of time to listen to this….as UMNO must have as many multi billion projects..with companies own by them….directly or indirectly…to keep milking our money away for their agendas..consisting of party interest….personal..and spread out to few friends.
UMNO party is corrupted to the core..so said their respected old guard…Tengku Ahamad Rithauddeen….strangely confirmed by Mahathir…saying it started 30 years ago…blaming everyone corrupted…..except himself!!
They say….if a person suffers from syphilis disease…the signs are…getting crazy…and talking nonsense.
Be prepared for the unexpected!!

Cintanegara.. You never reply what people said about TM.. what you are saying is all about race and religion.. can you talk something about what’s happening in our country and what’s best for us in the future?

A monopoly in the ICT industry is never never good.. lets face it..

Yes, there are few Malay puppets in DAP and quite number of non Malays (Mamak) in UMNO. Does that answer your question?

Hi cintanegara,
A complete waste of time.Majority of non-Malays does not support UMNO as they just represent a particular community not entire Malaysian.
Is there a difference between UMNO and DAP?
DAP has a few Malay members, does UMNO have any non-Malay members?

What a monopoly and suffering losses?
Someone here said myanmar could one day surpass us in ICT.
I would not be surprised.
Burmese are one enterprising lot.
Indonesians come here and work as house maids, construction workers and factory workers.
Burmese come here and operate little shops, restaurants and other small businesses in the heart of KL (not small towns). And often they are brave enough to take on the whole shop lot and not just half a shoplot. And Burmese could speak english. This last point would in fact put them in a postion of advantage compared to local malays who could hardly utter a complete sentence in english.
