There are two main ISP licencees - JARING and TMNET. You can contact noc@tm.net.my to get more info about TMNET. There are many other Value Added-Service licencees who can integrate Internet into their service. > 2) What is the total cumulative international bandwidth to Malaysia at > this time ? JARING has about 60 Mbps. I believe TMNET has 45 Mbps in operation now. > 3) Can you provide an estimate of the total number of Internet users in > Malaysia ? Our estimate is between 500,000 to 600,000. > Please feel free to add any additional information that > helps portray the current state of Malaysian networking, i.e., > costs of the big international links, etc. Cost now fluctuate wildly due to unstable exchange rate. For 45 Mbps link, it's about RM 18 mil on MY half and about US 5 mil on US half. .. and we have to pay the full curcuit, unfortunately. - ---mal
