KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 — Malaysia plans to introduce a second 5G network from next year, four sources told Reuters, in the latest policy shake-up aimed at dismantling monopolies and promoting competition by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s six-month-old administration.
Anwar’s government is now planning to introduce a second 5G network from January 2024 to challenge DNB’s lock on the market, four sources familiar with discussions told Reuters, declining to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.“The matter is still under review,” Ahmad Firdaus Mohd, press secretary to the communications minister, said in a text message, without elaborating.
The roll-out came under scrutiny again, however, after Anwar took office in November and announced a review of the 5G plan, saying it had not been formulated transparently by the previous administration. DNB denied that claim. Four Malaysian telco firms — Maxis Bhd , U Mobile, Telekom Malaysia and YTL Communications — did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
DNB has said a single network would reduce costs, improve efficiency and accelerate the building of infrastructure.
