Potential income for Astro

PETALING JAYA: The opening of Tenaga Nasional Bhd’s (TNB) fibre optic system as an alternative high-speed broadband (HSBB) network will allow for faster Internet access while allowing the entry of new players including Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd.

Astro, which relies on satellite communications to broadcast its entertainment programmes, has entered the fibre optic space to offer its content besides fast broadband services.
