I had file a complaint in National Consumer Complaints Center (NCCC) lately for the unfair services offer by fitness center in Penang.

NCCC is a non government organization (NGO) , their vision is to develop a independent mechanism  for consumer with the ability to solve problems in a fair, simple and efficient mediation system, and their mission is function as intermediaries between the government bodies, private sector and consumers in identifying solutions to any complaints.

I had few experience with NCCC previously, one of it is a complaints toward Digi Telecommunucation, after I file a consumer complaints online in NCCC’s website, I never get any respond from NCCC, but I do receive call from DiGi within a month, a special department which handle feedback from NCCC call me to resolve the issue. A credit to DiGi here because they handle customer complaints effectively. (more…)

Addicted to air-conditioning? Fret not! You can still continue to enjoy the cool refuge, albeit more responsibly. Our government suggests restricting room temperature to 24°C, which is currently enforced in all government buildings to raise energy-efficiency standards. The next time you turn on the AC, keep the temperature high to lower the emissions and it could likely lower your electricity bills, too!

Due to the humidity in our country, seeking comfort in an air-conditioned environment has become an inevitable part of our lives. In fact, majority of us are highly dependent on air-conditioners. With energy consumption reaching absurd heights, however, have you thought about how the world is in fact heating up while you are cooling down with the AC? (more…)

At first, the IEEE 802.16e and IEEE 802.20 standards may appear to be very similar. Both standards were developed to specify an air interface for providing broadband access to mobile users. Both standards will have low latency and will utilize packet architecture. However, other than the resemblances of their aims, there are few other parallels.

First the 802.16e standard is an extension of an existing standard, IEEE 802.16a. IEEE 802.20 is an entirely new standard optimized for mobility. 802.16e uses extensions to the MAC and PHY layers from 802.16a, while 802.20 uses new MAC and PHY layer designs. The result of this is that 802.16e-based product will be available well before any 802.20 products are on the market.

Although there is an obvious parallel between the technologies used by both standards and the type of user they are aiming to serve, there is a primary difference between the two. IEEE 802.20 is designed for users traveling at speeds of up to 250Kmh (155 mph), whereas 802.16e is aimed at users traveling at vehicular speed. So someone who is walking and needs broadband access via their PDA or laptop could do so using 802.16e-based technology. On the other hand, a user traveling on a high-speed train would require an 802.20-based product to gain wireless broadband access. (more…)
