Celcom, a subsidiary of TM Bhd, marked World Telecommunications Day yesterday by launching their 3G services, the first mobile operator in Malaysia to do so. Maxis Communications will launch their 3G services sometime early July.
Personally, l welcome this new development since so many other countries have been enjoying this technology, notably Japan. However, it will probably be a few years before l adopt this technology since 3G handsets and subscription rates are still costly, and usage and coverage not widespread enough yet. I would rather get a PDAphone and use Skype at a WIFI hotspot whenever available to make FREE calls and surf the web. Video calls? Not practical yet on handphones at current 3G environments in Malaysia.
