2 edits |  $237/mo per mosque
With 60 million users spread over 400,000 mosques, that comes to 150 people per mosque. At $1.58/mo per person, that comes to $237/mo per mosque. A much more realistic price for 224 Mbps to each mosque.

A much more reasonable price for 224 Mbps. They don't have to make is all back right away. $237 a month doesn't take into account a time frame. But for Indoenesia, I don't see how it makes financial sense. Their business model also assumes a pretty high adoption rate. There are a good number (not all) of Islamic institutions that look down at the Internet. It may happen, but not they way they say. |

Yeah, that's an income of $1.13 billion per year ($94.8 million per month). Could be do-able.

Sounds like Malaysia is the place to go for some serious broadband speed.
What do you have to say about that Comcast, Verizon, and all you other ISPs in the states? You guys are all getting owned by Malaysia in not only speed but the price isn't even a competition, it's a steal! |

The article mentions that the modem will do 224 Mbps, but something tells me that users will see a small fraction of that- especially considering that it's relying on BPL fed by satellites.
Plus, how many here would really want to rely on an Internet connection located in their church / mosque / synagogue? No thanks. |

I guess the Malaysian government is going to tell their Amateur Radio Operators, if they have any, to suck gas if the BPL Signal interferes with their signal. |

That's really the big thing here- this is basically the cultural equivalent of your local library getting a really fast connection, not to the home by any means. |

said by anonomous :that just about EVERY developed nation has better broadband than us ! The grass is always greener on the other side. The reality of the situation in these countries with bandwidth coming out their ears is often different than we've been led to believe (and it's often in a language your or I don't read).
