More good news

From NST: Get set for wireless@KL:

KUALA LUMPUR: Good news for KLites: limited wireless broadband access will be a thing of the past this time next year.

By September, they will be able to enjoy wireless broadband Internet access anytime, anywhere in the city without having to be near a hotspot; and for free, too, thanks to the KL Wireless Metropolitan Project, or wireless@kl.

It will operate on WiMax technology operating on the 2.3GHz spectrum at a speed of 512 kilobytes per second.

I believe that it will be put in place. I might even believe that it will happen next year. What I won't believe is the speed, until I see it for myself.

RIYADH: King Abdullah has pardoned a female rape victim who had been sentenced
to six months in prison and 200 lashes for being alone with a man who was not related to her, a Saudi newspaper reported yesterday.

Thank God.
