TMNet Monopoly Will Fall Soon

If I had the money, I’d sue them for mental disturbance and health related issues. For one, I believe an Internet subscriber could probably get grey hair from stressing out over a lousy Internet connection daily. And, the connection has been a b*tch the past few days.

I sure hope when the 4 Malaysia Wimax license holders; Green Packet Bhd, REDtone International Bhd, YTL E-Solutions Bhd and Asiaspace Dotcom Sdn Bhd, release the new Internet wireless standard then TMNet will crumble. But I wonder how does Wimax really work?

According to Wikipedia, the term Wimax actually stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. That sure is a mouthful. Plus, it’s actually spelt WiMAX. Oh well.

But I sure found something else I liked from the Wikipedia Wimax article:

WiMAX will deliver 70 Mbit/s over 50 kilometers

And comparing the current Internet WiFi standard against the upcoming WiMAX (I spelt it correctly!) standard, the Wimax Internet signal trumps the WiFi Internet signal (kilometers vs hundred meters).
However, I found both having near common weakness. Dependency of distance from the Internet signal origin or base station, as they call it. Meaning if the base station is located too far, your connection may be weak. And it’s understood, if you don’t have a base station nearby then there isn’t any signal.

I don’t know why but I’m thinking of how the judge in Zoids Zero deploys from the mothership. If the concept was applied to Wimax base stations, it’s deployed from space then boom, instant base station!

Cool, huh? LOL! Yes, we wish.

Argh! I can’t wait to tryout Wimax. Then, we can all leave TMNet to crumble.

So, hurry up Wimax! I don’t want any grey hairs anytime soon.
