Read this from The Star this morning. Known as Wireless@PENANG it is going to be set up at minimal cost to the State Government. Yesterday, our DPM and new Minister of Finance has just awarded Telekom Malaysia with a RM11.3 billion HSBB project. And at the award ceremony he said there would be no room for a second operator. Competition is not healthy? The same thing...the consumers lose out once more! Cos this is just another monopoly taking root.
Telekom's Streamyx at present is not really that good. Speeds are down. And in areas where there is a high density of users, lines are often times slow. One wonders whether they've given out more lines than what their infrastructure can handle.
So, it would be interesting to see whether the Penang model will work. If it does, then definitely they are doing something right which the Federal Government should emulate...not that they will but at least in this Bolehland, there is a real sense of Bolehness for a change.
