AkakPokPek – Who knows, Astro will finally take some action, especially the poor quality during raining Almost everytime that happened, I will wish that I never subscribed.

Not to worry, that can wait. The most important thing is always our main blog. That need to be updated first

AkakPokPek – I subscribe to Astro just before I get married. A big fan then, just like any new subscriber. But over time, yeah they did repeat the same stuff. Now I only watch it few hours per week. Spend more time on the net hehe

I’m sure if you open the rant in your blog, many people will join in. I certainly will

True, true… All we need now is a SOUND competitor to get these people to buckle up and do their job.

Now.. what do we do with ASTRO??? So few channels with repeated shows and increasing monthly charges??? And when it rains, u get no signal and yet still being charged for it. Oops.. lari dari topik pulak.. Kena bukak entry baru ni.

AkakPokPek – Thank you for that information. Hopefully that CFO can be proved wrong. Infrastructure wise in my opinion is easier to set up than streamyx. For streamyx, the access point will only cater for up to 10 km radius. However, wimax can cater up to 50km. That should mean lesser access point if compared to streamyx.

Hardware wise, there are modem being provided by the company. For it to be built in into laptop, will take time. But, it is feasible from the look of it.

However, all this are mere personal opinion, in the end, it will be up to the company on the success of wimax. Getting fed up already with my current one :p

Or is it I’m getting fed up because there is now another alternative eheh

While having lunch with a CFO of one of “THE” TELCO of Malaysia last week, I brought up the subject of WIMAX. Acc to him, for WIMAX to really happen in Malaysia, will probably take some good time as the current infrastructure is inadequate for the WIMAX to be implemented yet as well the gadgets (current laptops and mobile phones) will need to be installed with some kind of accesory to enable them to access the WIMAX.

Good luck! Thought the sound of one point that can go up to the range of 50km sounds too good to miss. Can’t wait for it to commence!!
