NoktahHitam is my alter ego. I am a nocturnal Web Developer at Laman7. Part time innovator, full time procrastinator.
I need your help.
Here’s the thing, I have to come out with a proposal that helps KTMB (our train operator) to get more passenger by year end. To do that, I proposed a free WiFi but the problem with it, is I don’t have substantial stats to support me. Therefore I’m asking your help to do the survey below.
It’ll be helpful if you can pass this link http://bit.ly/dmNjJW around . (Remember, FREE WIFI on TRAIN!)
ps: Thanks a bunch!
I’ve done the survey but I was just wondering WHY the emphasis on inter-city train? What about the commuter train that MOST of us use in the Klang Valley?

Komuter and LRT, do you even have space to open your laptop? Most of us in Klang Valley would use phone. But can you really operate your phone in a jam packed train during peak hours? I don’t think so.

I anticipated for this answer. But why then do you not consider the normal hours? And do you know how long does it take from KL Sentral to Rawang (on KTM)? Approximately 45 mins. That’s only HALF of the journey if you’re coming from Seremban.
I don’t know about the older generation, but the younger generation – you can put them in a jam-packed train and yet, they will still be able to update their Twitter to say that they are in a jam-packed train!

Atreyu, trust me, I’m saving some ammo for my proposal. I have 7 proposals for KTMB to improve passenger experience

Ok cool. But maybe you should inform beforehand that the survey is about inter-city train because a “train survey” really got us to think that the survey is on normal train that we board on daily basis. I was almost disappointed when I found out that I’m not exactly the target user. Haha.
You might think I’m trying to complicate things here, heh, but isn’t the purpose of a survey is to understand your target users? >.<
pergh.. ak baru tau pasal inter-city train.. o_0
gud luck bro ngan survey nih..
yeah i agree with atreyu here..
survey done! really hope for the free wifi in the train..can waste time updating blog etc

Is this possible? In ‘moving’ train?
NoktahHitam replied #1
theoretically, it is possible. Using VSAT or FWA. The problem is the bandwidth, it’s not as big as a house broadband. But I heard max it can go to 50mbps. Not sure in Malaysia though. In Germany, it is possible.
Why is everything has to be possible in other country first but not yet in Malaysia? *sigh*
Are the Menteri[s] not using internet? Tade kesedaran ka?

Cost of Technology and cost of living
Basic calc here of an engineer who wants to buy a Mac Book Pro
UK – 3000 pounds
Malaysia – RM3000
Mac Book Pro – RM 3899 / 999 pounds
It applies not only to technologies, but also food and others.
BTW, in UK, the freshgrad rate is 3000 pounds but Malaysia is 2200. Rugi jadi engineer kat Malaysia.
aku suke kalau ada Wifi tu tp entahlah aku rasa lebih bagus depa naik taraf perkhidmatan sedia ada yg sentiasa lumpuh tu.

Yg antara bandar, e.g. KL – Penang, jarang ade problem. Yg ade komuter je selalu. Ni target different department, different business model. Komuter tu, nanti aku ikhtiarkan.
