The Public are Desperate for Good Connection Speeds.
It’s been years that Malaysian commercial ISP subscribers have ben crying for a fast and steady connection. Being new in the Market as well may simply buy over subscribers from previous ISP’s. Therefore breaking the TmNet monopoly? Well, we would have to wait and see.
No Crap on Fair Broadband Policy (not yet, hopefully)
I posted a while ago on regards of TmNet’s Broadband policy which simply sucks. Well for all P2P fans and torrent downloaders, it’s a bliss for them. You would be surprised with the number’s turning out to be huge.
No Phone Lines Needed, Wireless Connectivity
Wireless connectivity. That’s a relieve or headache? I’m not too sure. But everyone’s making a great hype over it. Well I guess it benefits on using it as places with no phone line connection or so but what about wireless receptions? That’s sill to be put to test. Will modem’s pick up the wireless broadcast if there are too much obstacles around? We still need a wireless router for the modems in order to work with any WiFi compliant hardware. Well I hope PCI WiMaX card slots are sold soon. I guess they do. Need to look into that soon. When that happens, then that’s pure wireless connectivity.
Price Is The Main Contributing Factor
If reasonable prices are provided or even if its slightly higher then Streamyx, I’m pretty sure people would hop over to P1. But this is what we need to wait for. According to a press statement, P1 has acknowledge to announce the packages prices on August the 19th. That’s not too far long. Hope for a good start price. I’m not surprised if the starting prices are high.
Social Media Marketing
I’m not making it up! There are tons of people like me, who have already been talking a lot about P1 even though its not commercialized yet. The people’s recommendations, well that’s the superior of marketing. Word of Mouth at its best. At least I hope that P1 would listen to tweets.

It may fail too.
Some point they must take care.
1. 12/24 month Contract, a person like me expat working in KL, how can I
get into such contract. Its a minor number but remember there are
thousands in high profile job(willing to pay extra) like me.
2. Price shouldnt be more than RM100,if it is then it will be a setback to
their launch
3. Must have very good (at least entire city) coverage. Now with Streamyx we know its not mobile so we dont expect it to work outside house but when Wi-Max is mobile and it wont work at friends hse (week end visit) or a hotel lobby at outskirt of the town, P1 is dead.
4. Stable connection, that should be their center of attention. Like many other provider(iZZI) stability is least concern, if wi-max follow the same. It will be another jack fruit.(some bad jack fruit wont ripe no matter what you do).
5. Student package, maybe with limited speed/total usage, there should be a student package for college students, this will be a huge door, once these students are gradute/working if their experience is good while they were student they are sure shot future customer.
6. Watch out the 3G market price, sure they are gonna drop theirs like hell.
I am really looking forward to get hands on wi-max. Unfortunately my area is not under their trial coverage. I cant request for trail. I am quite happy with my streamyx though,if I get myself a mobile connection with the same price why not ?
