National fiberisation plan delay seen on uncertainty

The 3.5GHz spectrum meant for 5G rollout was earmarked to be allocated by the first quarter of this year.

PETALING JAYA: The National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP) and 5G rollout could see some delays in timeline with the prolonged movement control order (MCO), coupled with uncertainties if the industry regulator revises its plans for the sector, says Kenanga Research.

It said players themselves are having difficulties with installation and expansion work, limiting to infrastructure maintenance and it is likely that network expansion goals driven by the NFCP are also on hold.
