Malaysia Wimax Licencees Have Until August

by

Just a quick update on the Malaysia Wimax scene right now and the announcement by Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Senior Director for Technology and Standards Division, Mr. Zamani Zakariah to the four (4) Malaysia Wimax license holders:

All four mobile WiMAX operators have been given a deadline of until August next month to commercially launch the WiMAX service in Malaysia. Otherwise, there will be a penalty imposed on the operators if they fail to meet the deadline.

Zamani also hinted the Government might cancel the WiMAX license of operators if they failed to roll out the WiMAX service by the second deadline after paying the penalty. I sure hope it doesn’t happen otherwise we’re going to see you know who getting a license too. And, many of us don’t want THAT to happen.

Would they survive the rollout?

Here’s something I bet not a lot of people know about. Because if word got out, I betcha TMNet will crumble soon. One of my business network members was complaining about how his Internet connection was up and down. Worst part is when he sends an email the connection goes down.

Anyway, he related his connection problem to you know who and was left frustrated in the end – as usual. Later he found out from another friend, you has the right as the subscriber to demand a daily refund whenever the connection is down for more than 24 hours. Each day is supposedly around RM10. During this time of turmoil, RM10 is enough to fill a quarter pertrol in my MyVi.

TMNet Monopoly Will Fall Soon

by

wimax logoIf 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?
