@Bernard, imho no matter how impressive the investments, services over these need numbers. And those numbers can only be achieved through price drops. If we go back to AK start, the primary reason that they got into the market and especially corporates was because of corporate 1:4 contention ratios over the same bandwidth. At that time, most corporate packages from other ISPs were 1:2. This time around, AK needs to completely move away from double bandwidth/same price models and go back to what made it successful in the first place = cheaper bandwidth. I would also think that some who are on AK only have it as a redundant link and awaiting to exit contracts. That BD article made quite a lot of sense to me, unfortunately I tagged it with a wrong subject line due to time constraints. :-)

Competition has very little to do with this "drop"....
Turnover increased to 2B from 1.5B...WiMAX revenue is impressive considering the huge investment made for its rollout...The CAPEX made on the fiber rollout was huge...In 2010 financial year, AK will definitely have an edge over its rivals...Wait and see...
