U Mobile to spend RM1bil for capital expenditure this year

Wong: ‘Our capacity will increase with the additional spectrum and our spectrum per user ratio is the highest in the market today in the country.’

JOHOR BARU: U Mobile Sdn Bhd will spend about RM1bil for capital expenditure (capex) this year, with most of the budget going into the rollout of additional spectrum awarded by the government in 2016.

Chief executive officer Wong Heang Tuck said apart from the spectrum rollout, capex spending would also be allocated for enhancement of services to 4.5G.
