"Most telco players were surprised by the government’s decision yesterday to knock back the tender for Malaysia’s first wireless broadband licence.
At least three companies – DiGi.Com Bhd, REDtone International Bhd and NasionCom Holdings Bhd – made a bid, which ended yesterday, for a WiMax licence for the 2.3 GHz spectrum" -biz.thestar.com.my

Why? Should promote WiMAX. Hopefully Digi can get it since they din get 3G
