MCMC Should Be MMCC...

Today's 3G farce only reinforces my opinion that the so-called Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission is not only ignorant, it has crossed the lines of logic.

In what MCMC described as a "beauty contest" the criteria was not the highest bidder, but rather the complete package.

But a look at TTDotcom Sdn Bhd whose past association with the mobile industry is its shareholders' loss and Maxis' gain. MiTV Corporation Sdn Bhd on the other hand whose very existence is threatened by the Almighty Astro. Put the 2 side by side with Digi Telecommunications, a leading player in the mobile market with some decent ARPUs to show.

Now, how on earth did MCMC come to this "logical" conclusion? Somehow I am assuredly confident that Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson could make a better decision in comparison...

There is no basis for this result, and only fuels bad news for corporate Malaysia...
