i almost forgot about the 3G saga... what i remember: digi did not get the spectrum, instead it was given to a relatively unknown company... and digi was indirectly told to strike a deal with this company to be able to "share" the latter's 3G license.

digi refused to feed the freeloaders, though...

some months later, has the "unknown company" done anything at all with its 3G license???

Green Packet is actually looking into acquiring Mibb Comm (a co which is bidding for Wimax).

It is a jokes. How can a 3G holder like Maxis are allowed to bid on WiMAX? Both of them are competing technology.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2.3GHZ BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS
SPECTRUM TENDER EXERCISE
Cyberjaya, 16 March 2007 – The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia
Commission (MCMC) today announces that the successful applicants for the
2.3GHz broadband wireless access spectrum tender exercise are as follows:
Company Bandwidth Area of operation
Bizsurf (M) Sdn Bhd 2330 - 2360
MIB Comm Sdn Bhd 2360 - 2390
Asiaspace Dotcom Sdn
Bhd
2300 – 2330
Peninsular Malaysia
Redtone-CNX Broadband
Sdn Bhd
2375 - 2400 Sabah and Sarawak
The evaluation takes into consideration several factors:
o The multiple technology strategy that will be used in expanding broadband
i.e. Fixed line (fiber to the home), Wireless Broadband as well as 3G High
Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA).
o Wireless broadband spectrum on 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.4 GHz that have
been allocated to last-mile operators (Small and Medium Enterprise
(SME)) in the past few years.
o 2.3GHz similar to 2.5GHz and 3.4 GHz is designated more for small and
medium enterprises.
The 2.3GHz band has traditionally been used for fixed service and service for
point to multipoints. Making this band available to industry or service providers
will allow them to provide broadband services to consumers, with much the
same capability as the 2.4GHz, 2.5GH and 3.4 GHz.
The roll out of 2.3GHz band is to complement the implementation of MyICMS
886 Strategy whereby it is targeted that broadband penetration reaches 75% of
households by 2010. The MCMC hopes that the provision of lines by way of
wireless technology, which is faster and more affordable, would assist in meeting
the targets of the MyICMS 886 Strategy.
The roll out of Wimax service would also support secured and reliable networks
compared to the use of wifi. As consumers are demanding more reliability and
2
availability, service providers have to use spectrums that can give bandwidth
and speed.
We expect winners to quickly roll out the service to 25% of the population in the
area given to them by the end of this year, with a service provision of at least
1MBps at affordable rates. At the end of third year, it is expected that they will
be able to roll services to at least 40% of the population in the areas given to
them.
It is expected that each of the companies will invest between RM250m –
RM300m in the first three years of implementation of Wimax.
Notes:
Wimax is an abbreviation of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access by
the WiMAX Forum. It is described as a “standards-based technology enabling
the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and
DSL”. While it allows for triple play (voice, video and internet ) it is expected to
include quad play as well (voice, video, internet and mobility).
Wimax enables deliverables of bandwidth between two points or between a point
to multipoint to consumer. The usage of wimax requires certain bandwith of
spectrum to be allocated to the service provider, in accordance to the channeling
plan approved and published by MCMC.
