The man behind ABN


Finally the man himself has surfaced at Asian Broadcasting Network (ABN) though the market has speculated that ABN was his baby all the while. Tan Sri K.K. Eswaran (pic) is eager to take a slice of the broadcast and fast speed internet market but is up against giants like Astro, Maxis and Telekom Malaysia which has deep pockets and libraries of content. There is scepticism whether the venture can take off but he is confident he can make a difference as he educates, entertains and enrich the society with ABNxcess product offering.

He spoke to business editor (news) B.K. SIDHU for the first time since ABN was conceptualised and here are the excerpts of the interview:
