++si bimbo berckp tentang telco part1

in general, this is for bimbos.
i hope no technical person will encounter this blog hehehe. (takot aku merepek2 je)

1st of all, why are telco companies, in malaysia especially, are *losing revenues year by year, company XX for instance, used to be the most succesful & richest company when we first know about data in mobile services almost above 10years ago, even the ceo was one of the richest man in world that time, but why, now, this XX company is not anymore.

1) when the traffic was mostly voice, (2005 & below), the revenue over the cost of the infrastructure are much more higher. (dah more, higher lak)(bimbo).
2) after 2005, traffics are going to the data pattern.
users are introduced to more entertaining UI, frenster, fotopages, the great facebook came around 2006/7, then twitter, then instagram, keek, whatsapp, etc etc. semua nya data.
voice traffics (cheap infrastructure, high revenue) are getting stagnant, & mostly saturated.
data traffics (expensive infrastructure, not so high revenue) going exponential.
at some point of time, the network cost exceeds the revenue.

volume of traffics (data) are getting higher, the cost of traditional infrastructure also getting higher,
but the revenue, nada. stagnant. (tu sbb that richest man lari dari the company, bukan pergi ke another telco company, but, out of the technology altogether)
sebab apa? sbb users are getting cheaper & cheaper services, they see data as a cheap services. data plan strategy between telcos are competing well. semua nak kasi package paling murah, it's not healthy for the telco companies, but, if i am a customer too i still want the cheapest package too. so, no complain there.

so when i heard people complaining (mostly in fb) about how a rich company ni, network coverage mcm sial lah, at certain area, x reti2 ke nak buat something, bla bla bla,
i can imagine the face of the engineers in certain department yg struggle to give the best coverage, struggle cut PO/PR for sites upgrade ke, tambah itu tambah ini, and its not as easy, sometimes there were budget cut because of some other department sibuk pakai duit for marketing, sometimes tetibe ade VIP from other site complain so there goes that budget for that site into that other site, sometimes tetibe ade vandalism in other site (ni mmg paling pundek),  and so on.

of course, there are always a budget from that small revenue, but, the traffics volume are getting fnking overflown that no better service provider can cope with the upgrading costs.
upgrading cost for the existing network tuh satu,
upgrading cost for the new technology tuh lagi satu.

if people complain and if they are tired of it, they can go to the extend of suggesting you to change service provider je.

the basic fundamental in data services (in 3G network) is, the more people in the same area using the same service provider, the worst the network became.
a site serving an area based on their power level, the more user around the area using any data services at the same time will make their power level distributed amongst the users, so, sorang dpt sikit power je, so makin slow le intenet ittew.
bila ramai org in the same area complains about the slow serving site, telco engineers akan mengupgrade dgn menambah power level contohnye, (ade lagi upgrade2 lain, maleh nak taip)(sebenanye dah lupe),
and after a while, ramai lagi tetibe user baru duduk area tu, or ramai user dah teraddicted kpd utube channel k-droma tuh, so, slow lah semule, so upgrade lah lagi,
sehinggalah dah xbleh upgrade apo2 dah, ekau poie lah pindah rumah hahahhaha.
(actually, boleh lagi, tambah new site, or tambah rnc, but totally different case&cost, maha karya cinta, byk lagi kawasan2 strategy yg perlu duit utk upgrade yg 1st phase tadi, semuanye dependable.)
(contohnye kawasan kg acik tuhaaaa, node-B (site) pon takdoooooooooo)

(why havent i complained about it? walopon kdg2 rase sakit jiwa diatas ketiadaan intenet, tp, kdg2 rase alala tenang & aman juwer hehehe. and i know my village is a remote area, x layak & x mendtgkan revenuee so tidak dipandang utk di buat apapa ahahahahhaha)
