The Minister of Communications and Digital, Fahmi Fadzil has now stated that telecommunications companies will announce good news regarding the implementation of the 5G network at the end of June 2023. It is still a mystery as to what the telco will announce.
The Minister simply stated which telecommunications companies are with DNB and equity holders, and there will be some good and important announcements from telecommunications companies.
Previously, the government had decided to change the 5G implementation model to a dual-network model, and it is expected to be implemented after the 5G network developed by DNB reaches 80% of populated areas in Malaysia.
In addition, the government has also previously given a period until June for telecommunication companies to resolve the problem of network coverage gaps that lead to frequent dropped calls. Some earlier speculations stated that the telcos might work together to offer network roaming to ensure customers enjoy comprehensive network coverage.
Anyway, let's all look forward to the end of this month for the announcement of the telecommunications company. Is it the form of a new cooperation agreement, or just a simple promotion for Hari Raya Aidiladha only.
