Now the Real Work Begins

At a low key ceremony last Friday, 24th August 2007, we received a licence from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to operate a national radio station.

Though it was a rather tortuous process that took 6 months longer than I anticipated, reaction by our co-attendees at the licence presentment ceremony (TM Net, who received an IPTV licence 3 years after their application) told me that I should be thankful that it took the time that it did. Yes, yes, the licence terms were a little onerous and not quite consistent with objectives and the business plan that we submitted with our application, but as an officer at MCMC said, "Just be grateful you got a licence!".

And grateful we are. And now the real work begins!
