Good news for iphone lovers and Digi supporters. Digi will be bringing iPhone to Malaysia! With this, Maxis one year monopoly in the providing iPhone to Malaysian is ending.

Digi strucked a deal with Apple Inc to distribute iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS but which package they will be joining is still not yet disclose.

Digi and Apple signed a 3 years deal and Digi is targeting an extra 5% of sales this year. Stay tune for more updates on Digi new packages bundled with the iPhone.

Even my friend LiewCF also wrote a blog post on this matter titled : Digi Malaysia to Offer iPhone in Malaysia, Breaking Maxis Exclusive

Conclusion

I am a believer of healthy competition rather then monopoly business. When a company is monopolizing the market, they set the price and we as consumers can only accept it.

With competition, it is benificial to customers as we have choices to make from rather then just one. I am pretty sure all Malaysians out there loves a market which is full of competition.

One of the main reasons why i didn’t purchase the iPhone is because it is very expensive and the contract needed to sign with Maxis is damm bloody long. So it is not worth it.

With Digi in the picture, i might be thinking to wait for a while more or get the Google Nexus One. What say you?
