Well... I just read an article on The Star newspaper website about TM Nut (laugh?) having some promotional event trying to get _more_ yes thats right, I said MORE people to sign up for broadband by showing them all the wonders you could do with fast internet connection. They said they were going to use music as one of their methods of persuasion.
Seriously? There are actually people in Malaysia who have not already heard or read a bit about broadband capabilities? Not even parents from their kids?
Well what I am really agitated by this is that it is not as though we do not have enough people using TM Nut's broadband, clogging up with their hardcore downloading, but to bring more of these people in? Come on! Fix the problems of clogged up bandwidth first, THEN think about getting more people. Like getting a bigger ship before bringing in more passengers?
The article also stated that there are currently approximately 500,000 broadband suscribers in Malaysia. I can guarantee you most the users from these subscription would be the younger generation. I think that more ISP companies should exist in order to have competition in order to make these competitors strive to be the best. Malaysians have been introduced broadband; Streamyx and so far it is the only Internet Service Provider that gives really reasonable prices making them the only realistic option for average home users thus somewhat having no real competitors. When Streamyx goes down, due to some technical issues, most of us would be screwed. I'm not surprised if some of these users would have withdrawal symptoms and go crazy without fast internet access.
Let us have more choices of good competitive ISPs please!

I was watching television over dinner last night, at around 12am. See my friend offered to buy back nasi lemak for me from near where he studies. I was in my room, wondering when the heck he would return home until around 12am, he knocked on my room door and ask me why I was not hungry yet. That guy came home and I did not even realize it. See that is one of the problems living in a double storey apartment. So I actually was in my room from evening till 12am thinking of when he would actually come back. So yeah I had my dinner at 12am and while eating I was watching the television. There was this old man playing his guitar bossanova style which really caught my attention, because I love bossanova and still dying, trying to learn how to master it. He performed quite well. His name is Earl Okin. I did some googling on him and found out that he took some modern day songs and turned them into bossanova style as well and they were quite entertaining although not properly fitted I must admit. However it was still great altogether.
