Thanks For Visiting !

I'm sorry for a quite long inactivity :-D

Several drafts have actually been prepared, but unfortunately due to "many things around me in the last times" I didn't have chances to release any of them. This post shall be my last post for year 2008.

Happy new year for all of you. Thanks for visiting my blog!

TdC Fiber Network

It seems that TIME/TdC has a well-designed infrastructure! Wait, first of all : I currently don't affiliate with TIME, I'm not a TIME's marketing engine, either :-D

TIME dotCom's 100% fibre trunk network comprises not only of main and terrestrial fibre optic cable route linking the major towns of Peninsular Malaysia but is further complemented with submarine festoon fibre optic cable back-up systems with landing points around the perimeter of Peninsular Malaysia.

Another good point : TIME has provided its network map as you can see below. Even TM or SINGTEL don't provide such a thing (yet?)! :-D ... Some other notes:

Global Internet Usage - 2008

Some notes from TM's perspective with regard to the Internet usage:

Thailand - Bandwidth

According to Jasmine Group, this year (2009) Thailand will have 70+ Gbps international bandwidth serving 4 mn broadband subscribers with "average ??" broadband speed of 4 Mbps.

Malaysia - Connectivity + Bandwidth

TM operates 6 cable stations in western Malaysia and 5 in Serawak. All international connections happens through CSs in western. I would guess that TdC's CSs are already included (now, it's a subsidiary of TM, right ?) .

How much international bandwidth ? I think it isn't so much different as my previous post about this some times ago. For this year TM has projected to have totally 150+ Gbps bandwidth, which 70+ Gbps of them is dedicated for MY-US connections.

PT. Jabar Telematika (Jatel)

This "pipe" business seems to be attractive for everyone ! :-D

Recently, a local company owned by local government, PT. Jabar Telematika (Jatel) has announced its first fiber optic project in Bandung:

• Length : approx. 72 km (inside+outside the city)
• Investment : IDR 25 bn (approx. USD 2.3 mn)
• RFS : 04/2009
  

Other things:

Domestic Capacity Price (Possibly 2008B or 2007)

Below are some tables indicating domestic leased line prices, for 2007 or up to 2008M I guess. These currently shall be cheaper, after some pressures from the government middle of last year. This information is based on the work of Rajat K. published by LirneASIA.

How could they get this ? :-D
