YTL-e, Green Packet emerge as WiMAX frontrunners
By C.S.TAN
PETALING JAYA: YTL e-Solutions Bhd (YTL-e) and Green Packet Bhd are thefrontrunners to secure WiMAX licences, according to sources yesterday.
WiMAX is a new standard for wireless broadband that covers longdistances. Securing that spectrum would enable the companies to becomefull-fledged cellular companies (celcos) that can offer voice, data andvideo services on mobile phone networks.
Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaiktold the media last month he would announce the winners of the WiMAXspectrum not later than the end of this month.
However, he also indicated that while up to four WiMAX licences may beavailable, he might announce two winners this month and another twolater.
YTL-e and Green Packet groups are believed to be successful in theirapplications for WiMAX but it is not clear if both are among the twowinners to be announced this month.
It is also not clear if DiGi.Com Bhd would be one of the winners. Oneof the issues it faces is that Telenor of Norway owns 61% of DiGialthough foreign companies are currently allowed to own up to only 49%of local telecoms firms.
Under Telenor, DiGi has been competitive and its network is hugely popular, as seen from its high subscriber growth.
Speculation was rife in the stock market yesterday that YTL-e and GreenPacket would win the WiMAX spectrum. YTL-e shares surged 12 sen to 57sen on volume of 86.1 million shares while Green Packet jumped 15 sento RM5.25 on a volume of 1.6 million shares.
Both groups submitted their applications through their member companiesthat are licensed service providers, which qualify them to bid forWiMAX spectrum.
YTL-e announced in late December it would subscribe to new shares inBizsurf (M) Sdn Bhd, giving it a 50% stake in the company.
Bizsurf is one of 17 licensed service providers that have applied forand are being considered for the 2.3GHz spectrum for WiMAX deployment.
YTL-e would pay RM1.3mil cash for the 50% interest in Bizsurf. This isa small sum for YTL-e, which reported in its last financial resultsthat it held RM167.8mil cash.
A member of the YTL group, the Mesdaq-listed YTL-e is mainly engaged in developing technology companies and services.
Green Packet's bid for WiMAX is through MIB Comm Sdn Bhd, which is 55%owned by Packet One International Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of GreenPacket.
Packet One bought the MIB Comm stake in December for RM6mil cash, oncondition that an additional RM3mil would be paid to the vendors if thecompany secured the 2.3GHz spectrum.
MIB Comm holds several licences from the Malaysian Communications andMultimedia Commission (MCMC) that would enable Green Packet to deployits SONmetro wireless broadband infrastructure in the country.
Green Packet is currently installing its SONmetro infrastructure in theKlang Valley that can deploy broadband services using fourth-generation(4G) technology and long-range WiFi coverage. The group'sinfrastructure would be enhanced if it secures a WiMAX licence.
The company is also cash-rich, reporting it had RM125mil in cash atend-September last year. That would have been boosted by a privateplacement in November of new Green Packet shares issued at RM4.50 each,which raised RM182mil cash.
It would thus have over RM300mil in cash.
揑t would be a red packet for Green Packet for the Chinese New Year if they get the WiMAX licence, no komen, i harap DiGi dapat those wi-max spectrum... sebab i nak competitive price in broadband internet and DiGi nie innovative, who knows some day broadband internet access just macam prepaid, no contract period, x perlu queue nak bayar bill, boleh grab reload at 7eleven..
and why i rasa cam green packet & YTL tu feed well those mcmc, naper in the first place tak beri pada maxis yang sedia maklum dah ada equipment & dalam process of testing wimax with motorola..

yup bro,
kalau ini digunakan,
lingkup la or yg dok provide internet skang ni,
tp ko rasa, kat malaysia ni ada org pakai ke tak teknologi ni,
dulu dgr2 gak nak commercialize kan teknologi ni, kiranya negara pertama nak buat,
last senyap je,
apapun, sapa yg ada kemudahan seperti dlm gambar tu, mmg dapat merasa connection speed yang teramat laju le, sedia menanti di implement kat malaysia nih.
lagi satu jepun baru-baru ini telah melancarkan satelit komunikasinya. skopnya lebih kepada asia, so saya rasa benda ni saling berkaitan antara saru sama lain member aku penah ckp yg wimax ni akan digunakan di mesia ni at least tahun 2012... :L :L tunggu no.... :)
