5G services under DNB model expected to be cheaper than current 4G charges by telcos - Tengku Zafrul. [Newspaper] (2021)
Abstract
The price or charge for 5G services to the people in the future is expected to be much lower than the cost of using 4G now, said Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
Recalling the efforts of the private sector in developing the country's 5G capacity, he said efforts to share networks, save costs and launch 5G network did not happen as expected due to differences of interest among mobile network operators.
He said given the importance of connectivity and the digital economy for the country, the government had taken firm action in February 2021 by announcing the Malaysian Digital Economy Blueprint (MyDIGITAL).
"One of the key actions taken under MyDIGITAL is the establishment of a special purpose company called Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) to implement 5G services faster and more inclusively for all Keluarga Malaysia, based on a cost recovery model," he said during a question and answer session at Parliament today.
