Business competition is good. it makes part of lives easier. One good example is the war between telco companies. They fight with each other, mudslinging with each other, we consumers get to benefit from their warring activities.
They fight, we get cheaper price from our telco services. I remember Maxis once cost a bomb before the emergence of rival telcos. Now, they have no choice but to lower their price in order to fight with the infamy yellowman.
But I still think packages from the yellow company is more attractive than the bland red company. Another going fight involves airfare. They should keep it that way, so that the stinky MAS will not have any reason to charge exorbitant price tag on their airfares.
It is really making life easier for frequent travelers. Let’s not stop there because our ISP Screamyx needs a formidable competitor. Yeah, we have Maxis broadband and other mumbo jumbo crap. But they are not strong enough to become a formidable competitor when all they do is to slap 5gb bandwidth per month cap on every user.
No one is going to pay something that is slightly expensive than screamyx knowing their bandwidth is opposed with a limit cap. This is why Screamyx continues to thrive although their service is described as shitty at best.
What is the purpose of subscribing to 4mb broadband if you need to deal with traffic shaping? You don’t subscribe 4mb broadband just to check your emails and chatting and fb-ing all day long, do you? This is why we need competition in this broadband business.
When this formidable competitor emerges, shitty services from Screamyx will miraculously disappeared without you noticing it. Monopolies and cronies who are holding a large pie of broadband business ought to be shot dead like those Bali bombers.
