Telcos can breathe easy as 5G is on hold


CGS-CIMB said that there are unlikely to be any mainstream 5G consumer or enterprise business cases in the near term, and 5G may hit the core earnings of Malaysian telcos in financial years 2021 and 2022, by 7% to 11%, if 5G spectrum is allocated in early 2021.

PETALING JAYA: The Jendela digital infrastructure plan indicates that 5G rollout in the country may be deferred to 2022, which may be favourable for telco companies, says research firm CGS-CIMB.

It reiterated that there are unlikely to be any mainstream 5G consumer or enterprise business cases in the near term, and 5G may hit the core earnings of Malaysian telcos in financial years 2021 and 2022, by 7% to 11%, if 5G spectrum is allocated in early 2021.
