Atleast 2 people on another local forum have got calls from wateen asking them what would they like as their free gift:

1. wireless equipment
2. other gift

naturally both chose #1!!!

that means the launch is pretty close

other news:

their wimax phone code: 0309

1mbit capped conn = 999 (unconfirmed, p2p no idea)

CPE cost = 28000!

i think it''s giving away CPE's to the ones that got into the pre-registeration programme!

those rates arent bad though esp. if dedicated even if capped. if p2p is allowed with the same limits as mbl, it's worth considering esp. if we get free cpe's!

CPE = consumer premsis equipment

the one i've seen is about the size of a small box, like old circuit breaker box with a lever!

the rate mentioned above are nearly a done deal. dont know the size of the cap and p2p traffic atm!

has anyone in isd/rwp been contacted yet?

edit: confirmed corporate tariff:
512kbps:shared:9000
very very steep

heck ptcl's 1mbit connection is about half price!
