even today is sunday also almost impossible to make a call.
Must inform the management in this coming AGM. Other advertisers will drop MR.
u need to keep on dialing the number, 10-20 times b4 u can get thru during busy period
cos, i guess there is a limit to the number of users calling online . they will need to increase the capacity

Mohdi may hav bbig dream, however, big dream alone not enough unless the dream is one that can truly shake up the mobile industry. If mohdi only dreams about $$$ without bringing anything new to the market, something that singtel, starhub, m1 will die for, he can can his $dream.
Google is a more worthy contender to be the next mobile operator. Google has bought wireless bandwidth in the US and promising to wire up a superfast (1000MBPS) broadband there, probably to stream mobile TV contents, and all the other apps in their toolkits.
But not writing off Mohdi, he might venture with google and wow everyone instead.

IPWireless: Fourth operator will stir S'pore
By Aloysius Choong, CNETAsia on January 31, 2005
Summary
Singapore could do with a fourth mobile operator. Wireless done right will make flash drives obsolete. The future of W-CDMA is voice.
Singapore could do with a fourth mobile operator. Wireless done right will make flash drives obsolete. The future of W-CDMA is voice.
These were some of the proclamations made by IPWireless CEO Chris Gilbert in an interview with CNETAsia earlier this week. The Calif.-based company, along with rivals Flarion Technologies and Navini Networks, supplies mobile broadband networks to operators, promising voice over IP (VoIP) and high-speed data services.
According to Gilbert, IPWireless already has 40 networks deployed around the world, including trials with Singapore's M1, Malaysia's Maxis, Australia's Optus and Bharti in India. It is also covering two-thirds of New Zealand under a commercial agreement with service provider Woosh.
Q: What brings you to Singapore?
A: The three mobile operators. Singapore is interesting because it's on the brink of doing things. The government wants to do things here. The mobile operators to varying degrees, but particularly M1, want to do things in the mobile broadband space. There's a national sentiment in Singapore about wanting to be a leading country in the region.
There is a set of companies here in Singapore I'm interested in that can manufacture devices based on a chipset.
There's also a government requirement for mobile data for its own purposes, be it in the police force or the utilities and so on.
And the country is small enough that you don't have to be talking about billions of dollars for you to do something, which you do if you're talking about U.S. or one of the bigger European countries. So there's a lot of things that come together here in Singapore.
It's also fairly well-advanced with three operators doing wideband-CDMA. For this little island to have three wideband-CDMA networks to me is unbelievable, really. The island is probably about to sink with so much radio equipment on it.
You have a few operators in the region undergoing trials. What are some of the findings?
Generically, consumers like broadband. Most countries don't have a significant penetration of broadband, with a few exceptions like Singapore, Japan and Korea. In general, there has not really been huge deployment. We've discovered that given the choice, 40 percent of the population would prefer to have a mobile broadband service over a fixed broadband service. One of our older networks here in the region is the New Zealand network, and they are getting 40 percent of all new additions to broadband. So of the people coming into broadband for the first time, Woosh is getting 40 percent, which is a big number for a new operator.
Can we expect commercial deployment?
The expectation is that Maxis and M1 will move forward. You notice when M1 made its announcement (of trials) before Christmas, it said that it would deploy a network by mid-year. If you backtrack from the time it takes to buy, build and deploy a network--it's in the four- to five-month period--it needs to be placed in contract roughly now. I expect probably another one in the Asia-Pacific within the next month or two. It's happening.
Has M1 come out to say that it's going to be IPWireless?
Nope. But if M1 has said they want to have broadband Internet by mid-year, the only frequencies available are UMTS frequencies. There's only one company that does UMTS networks. (Laughs.)
There are plans to produce an IPWireless-compatible cell phone. What is the status on that?
In Cannes (3GSM), it will be displayed. It will actually be working. These are engineering prototypes. When will cell phones be in production? The answer is the middle of next year.
Do you see dual mode capability as a pre-requisite before going into production?
No. Because the new operators do not have interest in dual mode. They have interest in taking share off the old mobile operators. They want single mode. The last thing they want to do is to share what they're doing with one of the mobile operators.
Consumer electronics devices play a big part in your vision. Tell us a bit about that.
If you think of mobile cellular, you immediately think of the cell phone. That's one end. When you think of your DSL operator, you think of the DSL modem. That's the other end.
In between, though, are all the consumer electronics devices. A digital camera has memory in it at the moment. You get rid of the memory, you put this (wireless adapter) in instead, and every time you take a photograph or you do video, it's stored back on your computer at home. So when you get home, you find gigabytes of photography there.
It's a much broader vision than just the cell phone or the DSL modem.
Storage is cheaper than bandwidth, though.
Yes, but you can't really compare the two. If bandwidth is a fixed price, US$30 a month for example, and it's fast enough for you to move data, then you don't bother storing it on your portable device. You store it on a fixed network. In this case, your portable computer. For you to have 512MB of memory in your camera is more expensive than putting one of these (wireless adapters) in.
How else will mobile broadband impact the telecommunications industry?
Wideband-CDMA has been very slow because there's no competition in the broadband wireless space. One of the unique things about our technology is it's standards-based and cheap, and it can use new frequencies, it provides a vehicle to allow people to enter.
So the thing that could happen here in Singapore that will make a tremendous difference would be a new operator entry. That's one of the things that I think is on the cards for Singapore. So you can imagine if a new operator comes to Singapore, puts our system in to cover the island, and charges very, very cheap voice and normal DSL prices, but with the advantage that it is mobile and portable. That would create enormous competition here in Singapore.
They would need the license though.
Absolutely. And there will be licenses possible. The government actually will be making some annoucements within one month which provides new frequencies for new operators. So Singapore could very soon become a hotbed of competition. All it would take is for one operator to come in on one of those licenses and everything would open up.
In Singapore, most apartments are wired up, ready for cable. Would that impede the takeup of a mobile broadband technology like IPWireless?
Yes and no. The easiest market for a new operator coming in to enter is the fixed residential broadband. Obviously if that's already filled up with high bandwidth, then it would slow it down or make it less attactive.
On the other hand, if you talk about Softbank as an example in Japan. Softbank already has DSL everywhere. What it's looking for is mobile data. Its whole business case works around mobile data. It's a good business case.
The bit that is so confusing to everybody in this space is that, without even thinking about it, you're pigeon-holing technology and service. When you think of wireless in the cellular sense, you think of the cell phone. When you think of broadband, you think of a DSL or cable operator. This type of technology blurs that whole lot.
What would operators like SingTel and StarHub--both 3G mobile operators and broadband providers--do with your technology?
Let's think of people in cars, people in taxis wanting to have data services.
3G?
Not enough bandwidth. Not enough simultaneous users. This is orders of magnitude different in bandwidth and, more importantly, cost of bandwidth--megabits per second per dollar. A wideband-CDMA base station can handle about 20 simultaneous connections maximum. We're currently up at 250.
What about cannibalization between 3G services and mobile broadband?
But if their technology cannot do the required service, and the required service is on the roadmap to deliver, then they have to use a new technology.
Then where does that leave wideband-CDMA?
We see it more of a voice and cell phone technology.
But you do voice. And you do cell phones.
So what? GSM does voice, so how does wideband-CDMA compare with GSM?
Just because the technology can do all these things doesn't mean they have to use all bits of it. They can select the bits they need. SingTel would see it clearly as a high-bandwidth mobile system. StarHub would see it as that, plus the ability to have fixed telephony into people's homes. M1 would see it as all of that, plus the ability to put DSL into people's homes. So those three operators would see them in different ways. A new entrant would see it as all of those things, including mobile telephony.--by Aloysius Choong, CNETAsia

Internet in Singapore
In Singapore, there are more than 5,918,000 internet subscribers (as of December 2009)[1]. There are four major Internet Service Providers in Singapore, namely, SingNet, StarHub, Pacnet and MobileOne. Over the years, the Singapore Government have been promoting the usage of broadband internet access, as part of its Intelligent Nation 2015 (iN2015) masterplan.
Singapore, as a small densely populated island nation and a pioneer, continues to be one of the few countries in the World in which broadband internet access is readily available to just about any would-be user anywhere in the country, with connectivity of over 99%.

Dial-up access
Access to the Internet via Teleview-SingNet evolved to a full-fledged dial-up service known as SingNet, a subsidiary of SingTel. The formerly-private TechNet network was purchased by Pacific Internet. A third ISP was Cyberway; it was eventually purchased by StarHub.
Broadband access
In a government-led initiative to connect the island in a high-speed broadband network using various mediums such as fibre, DSL and cable, the Singapore ONE project was formally announced in June 1996, and commercially launched in June 1998. By December 1998, Singapore ONE is available nationwide with the completion of the national fibre optics network.
In 1997, commercial trials for Singapore Telecommunications' (SingTel) ATM-based "SingTel Magix" service were undertaken in March, before being launched in June. Also in June, Singapore Cable Vision commenced trails for its cable modem based services, before being commercially deployed in December 1999. Singtel's ADSL service was subsequently rolled out on a nation-wide scale in August 2000.
Current developments
In January 2001, the Broadband Media Association was formed to promote the broadband industry. By April the same year there were 6 broadband internet providers, with the total number of broadband users exceeding 300,000. Pacific Internet introduced wireless broadband services in October 2001.
In 2006, Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) introduced a programme named "Wireless@SG". It is part of its Next Generation National Infocomm Infrastructure initiative. Users can enjoy free, both in-door and outdoor seamless wireless broadband access with speeds of up to 512 kbit/s at most public areas. In the same year, MobileOne introduced its broadband services.
