Thanks Colin and Aizat for your feedback so far. We're visiting their 
Call Centre and Network Operations Centre to get clearer picture of the 
problems especially the inadequate bandwidth and poor service support. 
James and Jeff Ooi's blogs are already carrying the usual complaints. 
I'm not going to be the PR person for TM Net but will concentrate on 
efforts to promote and enhance the use of OSS by TM Net. Getting TM Net 
to host OSS mirror is an excellent idea. Getting them to provide hosting 
facilities on OSS platform for NGOs may be another. Will keep the ossig 
list informed of significant updates on the OSS front. Will let you all 
know when the new web portal of the user group is operational.

Please keep the suggestions coming.
