Malaysia Internet Exchange (Malaysia IX)

The Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik said that with the commissioning of Malaysia's own Internet Exchange, future surfing will be cheaper. The set-up cost will be RM15m only (source: Sun2Surf). If that's the case, why didn't the government build it right from day one or few years back knowing that it could save millions of ringgit. This is a real BIG MISS! The amount is soooooooo small compared to many unnecessary projects for instance, the RM490m Sports Academy in UK.

According to an IT friend of mine, savings won't be much or not at all for the individual users. Next issue my friend said was hopefully the internet services in Malaysia won't be 'down' during the set-up or commissioning of the new Internet Exchange. Just wait and see.
