Chapter 3 – The Company

3.1 – Company Overview

P1 is the 4G broadband leader in Malaysia, it was open on 20 august 2008. We provide 4G wireless and fiber broadband to Malaysians. P1 started in August 2008 and now we have grown from zero to over 400,000 subscribers with 53% population coverage of West Malaysia. P1 is a subsidiary of Green Packet Berhad with South Korea leading Operator, SK Telecom as second largest shareholder. We are the strategic partner for Qualcomm (world’s largest 3G chipset manufacturer) and China Mobile (world’s largest telco) since 2011. This allowed P1 to be able to spearhead TD-LTE technology once Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission permitted the deployment. Green Packet was at the verge of resigning to oblivion if not for a very determined CC Puan. CC believed in the technology that the company was developing to meet a future need of ‘anytime, anywhere connectivity’. He was also determined to sustain the employment of his hopeful and talented research and development team, some of whom were living in the United States on working visas.

3.2 – Business Description

The beginning of Green Packet is tied to one visionary man, Founder, Group Managing Director cum CEO, CC Puan. A graduate in Finance and Management Information System, a young CC Puan in year 1999, invested to set up a technology company with some partners in the Silicon Valley. That was during the dot.com prime where funding was aplenty and venture capitalists literally lined the streets. A year into business came the dot.com bust which greatly affected the Green Packet team. The then CEO decided to call it quits with funding dried up.

The Green Packet Group aims to build leadership in 4G mobile broadband, and by diligently executing on our business plan and strategy of our two core businesses of ‘Solutions’ and ‘4G Network Operator,’ will ensure high sustained revenue and healthy growth for the Company.

They was at the verge of resigning to oblivion if not for a very determined CC Puan. CC believed in the technology that the company was developing to meet a future need of ‘anytime, anywhere connectivity’. He was also determined to

sustain the employment of his hopeful and talented research and development team, some of whom were living in the United States on working visas.

Once he verified the business potential, he wrestled circumstances to keep the Company afloat. CC maintained the small R&D team in the US and moved the operation to Malaysia, at the heart of Southeast Asia. Not only was the costs of operation reduced substantially, CC refocused Green Packet’s business on new emerging markets, namely China and Southeast Asian countries.

We envision the world where every car, every fridge, every rice cooker in the future will be smartly connected.

3.9 – Company’s Current Promotional Strategy

• Big where it matter. Dominate where we are” have been our marketing strategies since 2008. P1 as a start-up with limited resources such as fund and talent, we have to be very prudent in our spending. We build our coverage one site at a time and without coverage, there is no product to sell. Therefore, it is not feasible for us to go for mass advertisement but we go very ground to reach customers. Until now, we are still practicing such marketing tactics such as roving team, stalls at night markets and we are very active on social media as well.

3.10 – Product Sales’ History

• Put a graph that shows the development of the product sales’ history

• P1 started by offering Fixed home wireless broadband to address the low household broadband penetration back in 2008. This is also because of our limited coverage where mobile broadband offering does not make business sense.

• P1 offered nomadic broadband in 2009 where we covered about 45% of West Malaysia population. We do not coin our nomadic broadband as mobile as our coverage is still not extensive enough.

• P1 started to offer Fiber broadband early this year to address the subscribers

who need high bandwidth and business with high demand on stable broadband connectivity.

Chapter 5 – Industry and Marketplace

5.1 – The Industry

Telecommunication is the transmission of information over significant distances to communicate. It is also a science and technology of sending and receiving information such as sound, visual images, or computer data over long distances through the use of electrical, radio, or light signals, using electronic devices to encode the information as signals and to decode the signals as information.

In earlier times, telecommunications involved the use of visual signals, such as beacons, smoke signals, semaphore telegraphs, signal flags, and optical heliographs, or audio messages such as coded drumbeats, lung-blown horns, and loud whistles.

In modern times, telecommunications involves the use of electrical devices such as the telegraph, telephone, and teleprompter, as well as the use of radio and microwave communications, as well as fiber optics and their associated electronics, plus the use of the orbiting satellites and the Internet.

5.1.2 Shape of the Industry

Early telecommunications transmissions used analog signals, which were

transferred over copper wires. Today, telephone and cable companies still use these same lines, though most transmissions are now digital. For this reason, most new telecommunications wiring is done with cables that are optimized for digital communication, such as fiber-optic cables and digital phone lines. Since both analog and digital communications are based on electrical signals, transmitted data is received almost instantaneously, regardless of the distance. This allows people to quickly communicate with others across the street or across the globe. So whether you're sending an e-mail to a coworker, or talking on the phone with a friend, you can thank telecommunications for making it possible. A revolution in wireless telecommunications began in the 1900s (decade) with pioneering developments in wireless radio communications by Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909 for his efforts. Other highly notable pioneering inventors and developers in the field of electrical and electronic telecommunications include Charles Wheatstone and Samuel Morse (telegraph), Alexander Graham Bell(telephone), Edwin Armstrong, and Lee de Forest (radio), as well as John Logie Baird and Philo Farnsworth (television). The world's effective capacity to exchange information through two-way telecommunication networks grew from 281 pet bytes of (optimally compressed) information in 1986, to 471 pet bytes in 1993, to 2.2 (optimally compressed) exabytes in 2000, and to 65 (optimally compressed) Exabyte’s in 2007. This is the informational equivalent of 2 newspaper pages per person per day in 1986, and 6 entire newspapers per person per day by 2007. Given this growth, telecommunications play an increasingly important role in the world economy and the worldwide telecommunication industry's revenue was estimated to be $3.85 trillion in 2008. The service revenue of the global telecommunications industry was estimated to be $1.7 trillion in 2008, and is expected to touch $2.7 trillion by 2013

5.1.3 Development of the Industry

In 1791 The Chappe brothers, in France, were in their teens and were going to schools some distance apart but visible to each other. They obtained permission to set up a signaling system so they could send messages to each other. Their semaphore system consisted of movable arms on a pole whose positions denoted letters of the alphabet.

They established the first commercial semaphore system between two locations near Paris in 1793. Napoleon thought this was a great idea. Soon there were semaphore signaling systems covering the main cities of France. Semaphore signaling spread to Italy, Germany and Russia. Thousands of men were employed manning the stations. Speed: about 15 characters per minute. Code books came into play so that whole sentences could be represented by a few characters. Semaphores weren't very successful in England because of the fog and smog caused by the Industrial Revolution. Claude Chappe headed France's system for 30 years and then was "retired" when a new administration came into power. There were semaphore systems in the U.S., especially from Martha's Vineyard (an island near Cape Cod) and Boston, reporting to Boston's Custom House on the movement of sailing ships. This was also true around New York City and San Francisco. Samuel F.B. Morse, the inventor of the electric telegraph, reportedly saw the semaphore system in operation in Europe. The last operational semaphore system went out of business in 1860. It was located in Algeria.

Furthermore, 1840 The congress was requested to provide funding for a semaphore system running from NYC to New Orleans. Samuel Morse, it is said, advised against funding of this system because of his work on developing the electric telegraph. In follow FAX invented by the Scotch physicist Alexander Bain in 1843 and Morse demonstrates the electric telegraph in 1844.Starting 1851 There are 51 telegraph companies in operation and Western Union formed by six men from Rochester, N.Y. They start an acquisition spree runs on 1856.

By 1861 Both coasts are connected. There are now 2250 telegraph offices in operation nationwide.1867 onward the first Atlantic cable, promoted by Cyrus Field, was layed on July 27th.Than Thomas Edison invents multiplex telegraphy in 1870 and Western Union buys the telegraph equipment manufacturing firm, Gray & Barton, and renamed it Western Electric in 1872 .
