Government may allow foreigners to offer broadband services

The Government may allow foreign players to offer broadband services in the country should the local operators fail to reach out to more users. 

Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik said although the Government had set a target for 5% to 6% of households to be connected to broadband by 2008, the percentage should actually be higher than that by then.
