ZTE Wins Malaysian WiMAX Deployment Contract
Malaysian WiMAX network operator, Packet One Networks (P1) has awarded a full turnkey contract for its Phase III network expansion to China's ZTE. The contract worth US$76 million will see ZTE deploy P1 W1MAX network including network planning and design, equipment supply, engineering services and WiMAX network optimisation to cover 65% of the Malaysian population by 2012.
"From the day we embarked on our WiMAX journey, our goal has been to make broadband a right for all Malaysians. To deliver on this commitment and our commitment to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, an aggressive deployment of the P1 W1MAX network is crucial. We look forward to ZTE's continuous commitment in delivering the third phase of our rollout successfully," said Michael Lai, Chief Executive Officer of P1.
In March 2009, P1 signed with ZTE to deploy Phase II of its national network rollout for US$28 million to expand coverage from 35% to 45% of the population by end of this year.
P1 has 140,000 subscribers at the end of 2009, and hopes to continue supporting the National Broadband Initiative and the national target of 50% household broadband penetration by year end

New HTC Droid Incredible Google Phone Is Selling Out
Google, HTC, and Verizon Wireless seem to have a hit on their hands.
The powerful new DROID Incredible smartphone, which went on sale yesterday, is already sold out in many of Verizon's retail stores.
It's also sold out on Verizon's website, first noted by Boy Genius Report.
In Brooklyn, N.Y., there are no Incredibles available at retail stores, according to a rep at Verizon's Atlantic Center store. We called around Manhattan stores and found many are sold out, but a few still have them in stock.
We also called two stores in central New Jersey: One at the large Bridgewater Commons Mall had Incredibles in stock. A store in Watchung did not have any in stock.
The amount of phones each store received varies. One said it sold five units, before running out. Another said it had sold a dozen, and still had a few in stock.
Assuming the sellout isn't just because of low supply levels, this is good sign for Verizon, HTC, and Google. Consumers are getting excited about Android-based phones. And so far, it's been without much advertising: Compared to the original Droid, which had a massive ad campaign, we've hardly seen any marketing for the new phone.
If Apple wasn't feeling pressure to get the iPhone on Verizon, news like this should help get the gears moving.

Vietnam's Viettel Invests in Haiti's Telecoms Market
Vietnam's largest mobile network operator, Viettel has signed a deal to upgrade Haiti's fixed line network in the country's largest foreign direct investment after the earthquake. Under a public-private partnership structured by World Bank's IFC, Viettel will initially invest US$59 million, and an additional US$40 million over four years, to upgrade services offered by fixed line operator Télécommunications d'Haiti (Teleco), creating a new company in which Viettel will hold a 60 percent stake and Banque de la République d'Haiti (BRH), Teleco and their affiliates will control the remaining 40 percent.
The IFC served as the advisor to the Haitian government in structuring the international bidding process for the partnership since June 2007.
Lars Thunell, IFC Executive Vice President and CEO, noted: ""The agreement reflects the extraordinary commitment of the Government of Haiti and Viettel to ensuring a safer and more sustainable future for the Haitian people. Economic growth is easier to achieve when people have the basic tools they need to communicate and connect with the world."
Viettel's investment comes at a critical time. Even prior to the devastating earthquake on January 12, Haiti's fixed-line penetration was only 1.8 percent - the lowest in Latin America and the Caribbean. Mobile density was emerging at around 35 percent while Internet penetration remained below 1 percent. The earthquake caused significant damage to existing telecom operators' networks, including those of Teleco and other local providers.
"Enhancing telecommunications infrastructure at this time is an essential component of Haiti's reconstruction efforts," said Charles Castel, Governor of BRH. "We welcome Viettel's commitment which shows confidence in Haiti and sends a signal to other potential private investors who want to support the country's recovery and development."
IFC's infrastructure advisory services in the Teleco project received donor support from DevCo, a multidonor facility affiliated with the Private Infrastructure Development Group. DevCo is funded by the United Kingdom's Department for International Development, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Swedish International Development Agency, and the Austrian Development Agency. Additional support for IFC's advisory work was provided by the United States Treasury Department.
