Oxford Global Broadband Quality Study shows Malaysia Lagging far behind leaders--48th place!

Oxford Global Broadband Quality Study Shows Progress, Highlights Broadband Quality Gap

While Malaysia aspires to and continues to talk about our cyberspace prowess and leadership, this does not appear to have been translated into reality. 

Indeed despite loud proclamations about our multimedia super corridors and our initiatives at creating more content and first-world infrastructure for web-based applications to bring us smack into the ICT-enabled global stage, Malaysia has done far worse than expected.

This broadband laggedness exposes and fritters away the much vaunted efficiency and productivity beliefs that are so ingrained in our parochial psyche, especially those within the establishment.

This must now be compared with the other surveys which put our universities right through the mediocre rungs of world academia, where we seemed to have slid further down the slope of prestige and standards.

Wake up Malaysians, before we truly become another basket case of failed nations!
