Encyclopedia
Yes is the brand name of YTL Corporation's foray into the telecommunications industry in Malaysia. Yes promises to be the fastest 4G internet with voice and is set for commercial launch on the 19th of November 2010. Yes claims to have speeds of 3 to 5 times faster than current 3G networks and will be using the 018 prefix for its voice services. Yes uses a prepaid utility model for billing and promises to have the lowest rates for data, sms and voice in Malaysia, charging 9 sen for 3 megabytes of data, a single SMS, or a minute of voice call respectively. Being based on the prepaid model, it requires subscribers to "top up" their account with credits before it can be used.
At launch, its voice service will also enjoy inter-connectivity with the other Malaysian telecommunication networks, allowing Yes customers to make and receive calls with other conventional networks. At launch, their coverage area spans 65% of Peninsular Malaysia including major cities, towns, highways and secondary roads on the east coast. One of the highways that will receive coverage is the North-South highway which links Malaysia’s northern most and southern most states. The service will also be on the high speed KLIA Express. A high speed train that links Kuala Lumpur city with Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
