Notice two company who’s name associated with astronomy have a price hike. One with a 15% hike and a reshuffle of services, and another with 25% hike for the weekend. Astro have just annouced in the papers on their new service structure, and an additional 15% of hike. Not surprisingly, when there is market monopoly, one can command any price structure one likes. Fortunately, our telcos have a healthy competition, so the consumer gains. The star on the other hand, have risen from RM1.20 to RM1.50 on the weekend (according to the newstand guy). I wonder The New Strait Times have a price hike too? if not, I might turn to them from now on. If only I get this much of pay increase.
