Subscribers to Malaysian Internet service provider JARING’s Internet telephone service will be able to make and receive direct calls to Malaysian mobile service provider Celcom subscribers .

This marks the first interconnection for an Internet telephony system to a cellular operator in Malaysia that was approved by the government agency Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in February.

According to Dr Mohamed bin Awang Lah (picture), chief executive of JARING Communications, “We are proud MCMC gave us the opportunity to boost up TSoIP development in Malaysia, placing Malaysia at par with other developed countries.”

“This move makes JARING’s MY015 service virtually borderless, allowing our subscribers to make and receive calls from anywhere in the world at a fraction of fixed line and mobile rates, simply because every call is routed through the Internet ,” added Dr Mohamed.

Telephony Service over Internet Protocol (TSoIP) allows subscribers to make a call directly from a computer, a special TSoIP phone, or a traditional phone connected to a special broadband phone adapter. Also, wireless “hot spots” in locations such as airports, parks, buildings and cafes allow subscribers to connect to the Internet and use the VoIP service wirelessly.

Subscribers to JARING MY015 services are given one phone line and phone number with a prefix of 0154.

JARING’s MY105 service can be used through multiple communications devices ranging from mobile phones, soft phones on their PCs and laptops and even physical IP phones on their premises.

JARING has been allocated with 0154 81X XXXX numbering block by MCMC that enables JARING to serve as many as 100,000 subscribers and more with additional blocks of numbers.

This is a non-geographic numbering system that allows subscribers to communicate with each other at a distance-independent call rate anywhere through broadband connection – even on an airline flight equipped with WIFI access.-ComputerWorld Malaysia

Why get a shorter .MY address? Shorter Internet address will offer you the following :

1. You will gain an impactful identification mark within the global Internet community as it is easier to remember
2. You can span across any industry (as the name will no longer need any categorization of type of entity) to promote your products and services
3. You are protecting your intellectual property & brand name. Failure to register your name using shorter suffix companyname.my leaves it open for other entities/parties to take up the name, that may result in trademark issues later
4. It is faster and quicker for foreign Internet communities to recognize you as a Malaysian brand selling to the global market

This registration is open to the public and applications will be processed on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS. SO HURRY! to secure your .MY Internet address.
