（吉隆坡25日訊）新聞、通訊及文化部長拿督斯里萊士雅丁說，政府已與U mobile公司合作，將無線寬頻服務滲入各村落，打造無線寬頻村，這項計劃將率先在加腊士和巴都沙比推行。

他說，每個無線寬頻村預計耗資1萬5千至2萬令吉不等，未來預計將有500個鄉村可發展成無線寬頻村。

他今日在U mobile的42mbps無線寬頻推介禮上表示，U mobile公司推出的42mbps服務不止是城市地區可使用，未來將延伸到鄉村地區。

他說，隨著網路速度的提昇，網路平台能提供更多便利，也容易引發網路犯罪事件。因此，他勸請網路使用者遵守相關的法律條例。

100mbps未來寬頻目標

此外，他指出100mbps是大馬未來的寬頻目標，目前已有兩家公司正在策劃提供這項服務，但這項計劃未定案，因此不方便透露該公司的資料。

Umobile首席執行員凱札博士表示，此公司是首個提供每秒達42mb上網連接速率的商家，也是大馬目前最高速的寬頻網絡。

他說，成功時代廣場將成為其網絡服務的第一個安裝點，之後將在巴生河流域開始該網絡的商業部署，並以梳邦再也和雙威地區為起點發展網絡事業。此公司將在今年底將版圖擴大到檳城和柔佛。

他表示，其公司近期已與新加坡科技電信媒體（STT）結成合作伙伴，以加強大馬的寬頻網絡服務，形成大馬一股不容小覷的競爭力量。

Share to Facebook

（吉隆坡26日訊）楊忠禮機構（YTL，4677，主板建築股）執行董事拿督楊肅宏表示，若有機會該公司不排除競標大吉隆坡計劃下的高速火車計劃。

此銜接吉隆坡與新加坡的高速火車，是以每小時350公里至450公里高速行駛，料耗資165億令吉。此計劃可帶來62億令吉的國民總收入，並可在2020年提供2萬9000個就業機會。

早前，楊忠禮機構曾提出興建來往馬新兩地的高速火車概念，惟此計劃因為成本問題，最終不了了之。

也是楊忠禮電力（YTLPOWR，6742，主板基建股）執行董事的楊肅宏，在該公司今日於隆市JW Marriott酒店舉行的一場簽署協議儀式結束後向記者表示，與磁浮列車比較，高速火車的可行性更高，因為前者的技術還未成熟。

另一方面，楊忠禮電力旗下子公司楊忠禮通訊私人有限公司今日與佳傑科技（ECS，5162，主板科技股）簽署分銷協議，後者將負責通過本身的全國資訊科技管道，來分銷前者的4G設備。

「我們今日的分銷基建在全國有超過2500個經銷商、由資訊科技零售商、系統集成商及企業零售商所組成。」佳傑科技拿督張昌烔在致詞時如此表示。

佳傑科技的董事經理胡善正在記者會上表示，此分銷協議將在明年開始為該公司帶來顯著的銷售額與淨利貢獻。

此外，楊忠禮通訊私人有限公司首席執行員李永鉅在記者會上指出，該公司在全國已設立2500個4G基地台，另外會陸續增設1000個基地台，預料會在明年完成。

楊肅宏在受訪時也不認為，該公司進軍4G流動寬頻市場將引發「寬頻戰爭」，因為目前仍很少人使用流動寬頻服務，因此此市場仍有成長空間。

History is being made, says Yeoh


The Edge Malaysia, October 25, 2010
By Karamjit Singh
Last week, YTL communications executive chairman Tan Sri Francis Yeoh spoke to netv@luc2.0 about his desire to up the ante in the broadband services market in Malaysia.
Yeoh, who is also YTL Corp Bhd managing director, said he was looking beyond broadband and at an eventual quad play by the end of  next year when YTL will offer consumers voice, data, mobile TV and fixed TV services.
The services will be delivered via a combination of two networks. YTL will officially launch its 4G network on Nov18, with the services offered focusing on the wireless dual play of broadband and voice. Mobile and TV services will come into play through an end-to-end delivery platform that will be built by US-based Sezmi Corp, which Yeoh says is a Google-like company with a niche. It delivers hybrid TV viewing by combining traditional TV content, movies and Internet video in a single service.
For the moment, all Yeoh is saying about YTL's relationship with Sezmi is that it is strategic. He is reluctant to reveal if YTL has plans to take up equity interest in Sezmi, although this has been reported in the media. However, he was more than happy to talk about YTL's investment in 4G.
When we Invest in 4G we are forcing the other operators to invest in 4G, which is great for the country, Then our broadband penetration will shoot up to 70% to 75%, even 100%, in a short period. Malaysia will then become a very investible country, Can you imagine the whole country being like the Silicon Valley?
An excerpt of the interview follows.
[url=mailto:netv@lue2.0]netv@lue2.0[/url] understand that you plan to offer an Asian-wide content service aided by your partnership with Sezmi. Is there equity involved?
Yeoh: well, we are a strategic partnership. I want you to look up Sezmi. It has appeared on the cover of BusinessWeek and is considered to be a Google-like company in its area.
And for it to come to KL, you have to ask yourself, why? And even why our YTL Communications CEO Wing K Lee came to Malaysia. Because despite the technology being available there [in the US], it is difficult to find companies to undertake this initiative. Here, Sezmi has a clear field in which to launch the service. And have a look at this [shows an article on The Malay Mail website on Astro being sued]. About 70% of those who left comments feel that they are not getting a fair deal. Why this monopoly? I think it is a good time for Sezmi to come here. I think people are screaming for an alternative. At the end of the day, it is a fantastic opportunity for us to launch such a service [hybrid TV].
But is Sezmi an acquisition or will it be a strategic partnership?
For us, it is a strategic partnership. It is confidential and we have non- disclosure agreements in place to protect Sezmi in the US. We cannot say more than what has been said.
Sezmi is like Google in the US. It has many people behind it, including venture capitalists. We have to be sensitive. We don't want to beat our chests and say something out of turn. I think Sezmi has also been courageous to move its team here and partner with us.
[Using our hybrid TV service] the best teachers need not go to the kampungs. They can teach and train teachers and give students tutoring from their own living rooms through the power of this converged network we will build, which will deliver the best of television and the Internet.
We can link two things that people hope for. TV programmes on their mobiles while certain portions of the TV audiences would like to access Internet video and surf the web on their TV. With our service, they can have just one number and enjoy services on multiple platforms.
You know, we are making Malaysians pay too much for too many things. You want voice, video or data, you have to put money down. You can see that people are quite tired of that. With YTL Comms, there will be no strings. It will be like a utility. Just pay as you like. Give the people a chance. They will vote with their purse. Let's see how this goes. But from the little that I know from the projects that we have done so far, I think this will work. I remember the scepticism when we launched the ERL. Many said customers won't pay RM35 for a trip to the city but I said that was cheaper than a taxi. Why won't they use the service? Today, about 20 million people have taken the train.
Today, people will be up in arms if you took that service away. So, just think about it. Reflecting on that project, the Malaysian government was building an airport and a railway hub and in history, the railways were built in advance of airports simply because it was an industrial-era technology.
But to connect railways to an airport later is very difficult and costs a lot, as in the case of the Heathrow Airport. So, I told the government that if it connected the two, I would be able to charge a cheaper fare than a taxi. You know what was offered to the government? A particular consortium was asking the government to subsidise a RM200 round-trip taxi service from the airport. We said, they must be kidding! The taxpayer will not subsidise that. I asked to be given a chance at RM35.
So, people must know YTL. We always say we build world-class infrastructure at Third World prices.So, why can't we do this for the Internet too? This is my passion, as you can see.
I know we cannot live without the mobile phone today. For instance, my sons cannot live without mobile Internet and I know my grandchildren will blame and curse me if I did not at least have a hand in pushing mobile Internet, directly or indirectly into their laps. How can people do business today without mobile Internet? Those who are using it are clearly winning too as the world is changing. Things are moving faster. Remember Moore's law. The Internet is all about speed and not like the slow pace of change in industrial-type technology.
Nobody waits for you. The first trains in England were built for a speed of 26mph. Some thought people would die moving at this speed compared with horse carriages!

bubi

You say nobody will wait for you. So, will your 4G service be a game changer?

You know I am engaging with the game changers of this country [YTL has a programme to give university students 300MB of data for free], I want to give all the universities the power and I want their students to taste it. These are students and opinion makers, the brightest and the best who will likely change the nation's direction and we are going to engage with them. We are going to introduce many programmes to enhance their entrepreneurship and thinking capabilities. For example, MyPrize, which offers Malaysians up to RM100,000 for coming up with great apps for our 4G network. I am engaging 400,000 students already. Not many people will do that, let alone offer them free connectivity.

Let's step away from your grand vision and plans. Do you have a sustainable business model that can be wrapped around all these things that you want to do? You will be competing with existing players that also offer voice and data.

No, no. I mean today, can you watch a CNN programme on your 3G? Can you inter-conference with multiple parties? please do not be satisfied with this level. But you ask if I can be sustainable? I can tell you that the 3G model of voice is not sustainable. So, our model is definitely more sustainable than the old telco model.

What about the pricing of the 4G service? I get the sense that it will be a lot cheaper than what is out there.

I can't comment on that yet but we will be competitive. If you see our history with Extiva [YTL's VoIP service launched in 2000], I can be very competitive.

What is your biggest fear about launching on Nov 18?

I have no fear about the consumer not wanting this. It is like a fast train or a highway. When they built a fast train in Taiwan between Kaoshing and Taipeh, they thought three million people would use it. Some 33 million actually did. Same with this. Why would people not want this service? There is no doubt in my mind. I do not fear the demand.

I only fear for my people and the vision and courage they have to move on with this vision and not make compromises. That is probably an internal thing which we have addressed. I do not think they fear anymore. They get it now. They are like Apple, part of a positive revolution for good. They are evangelists promoting Internet for all.

Otherwise, you would have a telco mentality. Spend and advertise like a telco. This is not a Red Ocean strategy, getting market share from the telcos. There is no comparison. I have said many times that 4G is almost like colour TV while 3G is black and white. Once you have tasted it, you will never go back.

But people have tasted 4G with Packet One and REDtone. Yet their subscriber numbers do not reflect any first mover advantage.

That is correct but that is because they are doing it in spots which we never believed in. This is an unsustainable model. Where people want mobility, you cannot tell them they can only get it in KL. From your PC to your phone to your TV, we will give you one number only wake up. It will be the first time in this country that your computer rings.

The smartest people are now in YTL Comms and YTL group always uses the smartest people in the world. We believe in using the best global brains to run our business. We never compromise on that.

Your cost of leasing sites to set up your base stations has got to be huge. How are you managing this?

Well, we will have 65% coverage of populated areas when we launch and this is better than when Maxis first launched its service. We have around 1,000 sites. But the cost of WiMAX is cheaper because it is a more modern technology. This has been to our advantage.

How does the 2.6GHz spectrum change the dynamics of your business model?

It does not. Like I said, we are a 4G network. I do not say we are a WiMAX or LTE network. To re-emphasise my open system, we welcome the best technology at any point. That is our whole culture. We are open and welcome anything. If  LTE catches up and moves ahead of WiMAX, no problem.

With a few upgrades, we can use LTE. But for now, you cannot deny WiMAX is a few years ahead of LTE. But WiMAX will continue to evolve. It is Moore's Law. The good news is, 4G has come.

What have you learnt from the failure of U Mobile to gain meaningful market traction thus far?

Theirs is a voice play. I have always said that that market is not sustainable. I am not in that space. There are no competitors out there for me.

Are you going to have YTL-branded phones when you launch next month?

They will be Samsung phones but with our brand.

How will that work?

You will see. Follow our progress. History is being made.

Yes 4G network: A dream service

YTL's Yes 4G mobile Internet provides rapid, seamless and affordable connectivity

SAY YES: Yeoh made Steve Jobs' FaceTime dream came true — Pix by: Gan Jin Liang
KUALA LUMPUR: When Apple Inc's Steve Jobs attempted to unveil the much-vaunted FaceTime video conferencing application on the iPhone 4 last year, he encountered some unexpected, if not embarrassing problems.

The failure of the application to run smoothly on the state-of-the-art smart phone meant that the demo, staged in front of an eager world media, was nothing short of disastrous, with a red-faced Jobs pinning the blame on WiFi connectivity issues.

YTL Communications Sdn Bhd's executive chairman Tan Sri Francis Yeoh however, believes that such a snafu is a thing of the past with the introduction of its Yes 4G mobile Internet with voice service, which lays claim to be the first in the world to deliver high-quality voice calls on a mobile broadband network.

"Yes 4G network is the first network in the world to make Steve Jobs’ FaceTime dream come true. It gives FaceTime speed, clarity and mobility up to five times faster than a 3G network as it can carry more bandwidth and data," he told The Malay Mail in an exclusive interview recently.

Yeoh is understandably proud of this achievement as FaceTime is a key feature for the runaway global success of iPhone 4, straddling cellular voice and data network services for almost seamless videoconferencing sessions using mobile phones.

Yeoh said Malaysians can use the FaceTime application uninterrupted along the North-South Expressway on the Yes 4G network.

Since its launch in November, the fledgling network has successfully racked up more than 100,000 users. It is currently aiming its sights on the 400,000 student population in Malaysia, set to be its next target division.

Yeoh attributes the network's rapid success to the philosophy that the internet should be treated as a precious commodity, not a luxury. Offering pay-as-you-use at 9 sen for 3MB of data, one minute of calls or SMS, Yes offers the industry’s lowest rates, up to nine times lower than current prepaid mobile Internet and voice packages.

“The language of the computer and the Internet is a powerful tool, if we can master this language. It’s the language of languages.

"This is a 15-year dream and I want our people to enjoy this power and educate their children to move on ahead of the world.”

Asked if the government understood the realm's potential, Yeoh replied: “Civil servants have families and children. I think they understand the power of mobile Internet.

"Politics is politics but I must say, Datuk Seri Najib Razak is a great Prime Minister, as he had said he wanted to engage bloggers and go live on Twitter. I haven’t seen a Prime Minister this tech savvy. He tweets live and understands the power of the 4G network. He understands it in a way a leader should. If he understands it, I’m satisfied.”

Asked about those who questioned YTL's ability to maintain a foothold in the telecommunications industry, Yeoh said he believes that YTL's past projects should be viewed as a testament to the company's ability to produce and sustain high-quality, high-end services. Yeoh cited the Express Rail Link (ERL) service as an example.

The high speed rail project, linking town centres to the KL International Airport, initially drew raised eyebrows due to its RM2.4 billion cost but has so far proved naysayers wrong. With 30 million passengers so far having utilised its services, its managing company achieved profit in 2003 after only a year in operations.

Following the inception of the Multimedia Super Corridor under the stewardship of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Yeoh listed YTL e-Solutions and invested RM100 million in another technology firm. The company eventually matured into the business of Voice Over Internet Protocol. This later resulted in bringing down the price of IDD calls in Malaysia by 93 per cent.

To underline his seriousness in making the 4G network a success, Yeoh pulled no punches in making YTL the only company in the world to invest a substantial amount into the technology, which he said amounted to one sixth of the United States' budget on 4G.

Yeoh has since thrown down the gauntlet to existing players to do the same, if not better.

“I want to challenge existing players to spend money on 4G because then, mobile penetration in this country will increase and Malaysia will be the most advanced nation on this earth.

"I’d like the children of this country to enjoy being part of this."
Precious commodity at the right price


WHAT'S BUZZING? Yeoh showing-off the first all-4G mobile phone; the Yes Buzz

YTL Communications Sdn Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Francis Yeoh perceives Internet access as a precious commodity, identical to water and electricity supply.

He felt no one should be denied the right to such a commodity at a fair price.

“The Yes 4G network offers Internet access at the inexpensive price of 9 sen per 3MB, the cheapest in the country," he said.

“Why should technology for the average guy be expensive? YTL sits on the abundance formula, where we give technology to the average man at a fair price and I prosper from that.

"I want the average man to sit on my train and prosper. I want them to use my 4G network cheaply. At YTL, we want to give this precious commodity to the people at the right price. This is about doing the right thing.”

Apart from the absence of a contract or lock-in period for the Yes network, he said there was no expiry for the credits as well as up to 30 per cent rebate to subscribers who consume a high amount of data, with the rates going down to as low as two sen per MB or RM20 per GB.

At its launch last November, YTL Comms and Samsung introduced the first all-4G mobile phone, the Yes Buzz. Other Yes 4G devices include Yes Huddle (4G mobile router), Yes Go (4G USB dongle) and Yes Zoom (4G WiFi router).

Also launched were two Yes Valuepacks, priced at RM68 and RM150 a month, that offer 3.5GB and 10GB of data usage respectively. On top of mobile data, consumers get to make 250 minutes of voice calls and 250 text messages a month.

Recently, YTL Comms sold more than 7,000 units of its first two WiMAX-enabled handphones, Yes Buzz and Yes Zoom, priced at RM488 and RM399 respectively. These devices can be integrated seamlessly with other Yes 4G devices with a single Yes ID.
