Ad-nalysis: Oh No Celcom You Didn’t Just Call a USB Modem Sexy Did you?
Saw this ad in The Star paper today last week.
Is it just us or is this ad just plain weird?
This – to us – is the most uninteresting, unexciting, uninspiring ad we’ve ever seen this week!
Un-Happy Update
A reader pointed out HERE that Happy has revised its call rates for 2009.
The reader said:
After using Happy for almost a year, I’m extremely annoyed that they changed their rates suddenly on Jan 22, 2009, delusionally advertising them as “new happy deals”. What bullsh*t.
We couldn’t agree more and here are the details.
Happy hinted that the “no-frills” cheapskate mobile service provider was working on new rates.
Happy revealed the revised rates on January 22, and we’re pretty sure many were very disappointed with the crappy “Happier” rates.
The Sun Daily reports today that Maxis is offering free mobile games and lower IDD rates during this festive season.
Maxis Chief Marketing Officer Matthew Willsher said that this is to ensure that Maxis subscribers are entertained and they are able to keep in touch with loved ones and kept informed while traveling home.
Try reading the title of this post really fast. Talk about a tongue twister.
That’s not the point though. The point here is P1 has recently announced that it will be launching 5 new plans soon.
How soon? Next week soon, February 2 to be exact.

Our regular readers will obviously have noticed that we haven’t been updated this blog for a very, very long time.
First things first, we’re sorry.
We’ve grossly underestimated the time and commitment it took to deliver a good read on local telco developments on a regular basis. And in the past few months we’ve been bogged down with a lot of other commitments outside this blog that, regrettably, the blog took the back seat.
And even more regrettably, a lot has happened in the industry that we so much want to write, share and discuss with our readers but we can’t because we didn’t have the time.
Once again, we’re sorry.
The good thing about all this is that you learn from you mistakes and we’ve definitely learned our. This new year we’re all pumped up to give you the inside scoops, tips and opinions inside the telco industry.
Our regular readers can expect regular updates from us. For the first timers here, welcome and please fill us in if there’s anything about the industry that you’d like us to talk or find out more about.
We know it’s a bit of a stretch but you’ll know it’s the thought that counts. So we’re wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR! and to our Chinese friends and readers, have a prosperous year of the Ox.
