Maxis 3G Experience Lounge and ramblings on Mobile Internet

Maxis just set up a 3G Internet Experience Lounge in New World Park, Penang. This is to promote mobile Internet to locals. However, I believe not much local aware about mobile Internet, only some tech savvy person like me does.
I wonder who do really Twitter on the go or read some news on the go. Mostly, they got a Blackberry, they don’t need m.gmail.com anymore. Malaysians are more onto Plurk then Twitter, so again, not much will go to m.twitter.com.
The only site they surf on the mobile I believe is Facebook and Friendster. Though this 2 sites, I have never went in before on the phone.


Personally thinking, the only way to promote mobile Internet is lowering the unlimited mobile data plan first, currenly the cheapest offer is from Digi and Celcom. Though Digi has only Edge network. If data plan is cheap, I’m sure I’ll be the first one signing up for it.
