My Wireless

I try to keep a record of my observations of wireless things happening around the world, in particular in Malaysia. My interests are broadband wireless access (BWA), 3G cellular communications, wireless sensor networks and vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET).

2nd 3G licence award in Malaysia March 2006

In the second 3G licence award by MCMC, the winners are
  • TTdotCom Sdn Bhd and
  • MiTV Corp Sdn Bhd

The loser was

  • DiGi.Com Bhd

Digi is the third largest mobile operator in the country, which many people had expected to be the frontrunner for the spectrum. However, the decision of MCMC has caused a big surprise to the public. One of the possible reasons that Digi was not successfull is probably it does not offer much difference in terms of evolution of services and network as compared with existing 3G license holders (Maxis and TM).

As for MiTV, it has abondon of content which is lacking in Maxis and TM. This may be an appealing factor for this company.

Meanwhile, TTdotCom – a unit of Time dotCom Bhd in which Khazanah Nasional Bhd has a stake – gets a new lease of life and it plans to use the 3G spectrum to roll out broadband services.
