THE Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (CMC) will require all fixed-line telecommunications companies in the country to open up their networks by the middle of next year so as to improve telecommunications access to consumers, said the general manager of its Industry Development Division, Bistamam Siru Abdul Rahman.
“We expect them to comply with the ruling by the middle of next year,” Bistamam said when asked to comment on the commission's plan to require telcos to “unbundle” their local loops.
