Revenues slide as telcos increase data for free


This is due to tight market competition, legacy revenue declines, a full-year’s impact of weaker wholesale revenue from U Mobile for Maxis, and lower international roaming/voice/prepaid reload revenue due to Covid-19.

PETALING JAYA: With telco players trying to stay ahead of the competition by coming out with new ways to give out more data to users, and at the same price, data monetisation is expected to remain weak.

The postpaid segment has been highly competitive from June to September as telcos further increased data quotas without raising prices, which will likely lead to weaker monetisation.
