It has been a month since YTL launched its nationwide 4G network. The WiMAX operator had a terrible start since day 1 of launch and continues to be having problems with its service.

“The awards on the (LTE)frequency, to be made available from Jan 1, 2013, were issued by industry regulator Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).” “Some industry observers view it as an early “New Year gift”, while others lament the lack of “consultative approach” in the process of spectrum allocation.

If you have visited the SKMM(http://www.skmm.gov.my) website before, you know how “easy” it is to look for information and to navigate through the site.
