Wireless Perak

Last year, it was reported that Ipoh intended to be the Malaysia very first "wireless city".
Today, Perak’s Menteri Besar Tajol Rosli said all Perak towns would offer the wireless service while facilities along the stretch of the North-South Expressway in the state would have them by 2008.
"This year alone, between RM3 million and RM4 million will be spent to provide the needed infrastructure to extend the service in Ipoh and several selected areas in the state," he said after launching a free wireless broadband Internet service at the Tapah rest and recreational (R&R) area, near here Tuesday.
"Ipoh is 60 per cent covered with wireless broadband Internet service, and all the three R&R areas at Tapah, Sungai Perak and Gunung Semanggol jumped onto the bandwagon today."
The service, which is known as "Wireless Perak", will elevated Perak’s status as the widest broadband Internet service coverage when 80 percent of its area provides the facilities by the end of the next year.
Can any Orang Perak or any Rest and Recreational (R&R) users confirm this?
Thumbs up!

I think we are digging our own grave with all of these Wi-Fi thingy, when our most basic backbone infrastructure is not even taken care of.
What do you do when you have a bottleneck situation? Do you:
Widen the neck? or,
Increase the bottle size?
