Great to read about the signing ceremony between the Gov't and TM today on High Speed Broadband (HSBB) investment for Malaysia. The network will allow citizens to connect to the Internet at 10Mbps to 100Mbps.
You might wonder what can you do with such speed huh? It's like having a Ferrari! But do we have good drivers? People might argue it's a chicken and egg thingy. TM and the government is taking the supply driven approach though. I say we have to work on both the chicken and egg.
the world is spinning in your hands...
It's even interesting how this topic has become political. The opposition had mentioned before that the high speed broadband project would be one of the mega projects to be shelved once they are in power.
Ironic isn't it? It was this 'new' media that helped them to get their political mileage and shelving the project doesn't sound right. Perhaps they realise how powerful this medium is and thinking that bigger bandwidth to the citizens poses a threat to their future position. I don't know, this is my opinion.
I'll blog more about it in the future. There's plenty to talk about really if you think about how we can create value with this new 'Ferrari'.
