KUALA LUMPUR, Monday, 14 May 2012 – Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (“P1”), Southeast Asia’s pioneer 4G service provider and subsidiary of Green Packet Berhad bagged the GoMobile Operators Awards 2012 as Best Home Wireless Broadband Provider of the year. Endorsed by the Ministry of Information, Communications and Culture Malaysia; and supported by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (“SKMM”), the prestigious recognition was presented to the Chief Executive Officer of P1 Michael Lai; by the Chairman of SKMM Dato’ Mohamed Sharil Mohamed Tarmizi during the glitzy ceremony.

“P1 users consume a monthly average of 17GB of data. That’s equivalent to 4800 songs (~3.5MB per song) or 17 DVD-quality movies (~1GB per movie) downloaded per month!
