On behalf of P1 I’d like to heartily thank all our supporters for believing in us. I’m also grateful to everyone for supporting our WiMAX vision,” said Michael Lai, CEO, P1. This recent honour means that P1 is the first and only Malaysian representative on the board as well as the first and only representation for the region in shaping the future of WiMAX and 4G.
