Maxis pressures Apple – The rumour gets interesting
Our sister blog, iPhone3GforMalaysia carried the news reported by the New Straits Times yesterday.
The story goes that during an interview after the launch of the 2008 Mobile Content Challenge yesterday, Maxis CEO, Sandip Das was quizzed about the prospect of Maxis bringing the iPhone 3G to Malaysia and whether the rumour holds any water.
His reply was:
As and when Apple decides to finalise its plans for Malaysia, Maxis hopes to be one of the operators to offer the iPhone – Sandip Das
This is interesting to us as it appears that Maxis and Apple are in a negotiations stalemate with regards to how Apple’s unconventional business mechanism will be between the two companies and how it will affect Maxis.
Maxis hopes to bring iPhone 3G to Malaysia
Yesterday, the CEO of Maxis has mentioned that Maxis hopes to be one of the selected operators to offer the iPhone 3G in Malaysia as Apple finalises its distribution policy for Malaysia. It is unknown currently on the state of their negotiations and what type of bundling they might offer.
This piece of news would be interesting for iPhone 3G hopefuls out there who are wanting to get their hands on a official iPhone 3G.
