5G environment set to benefit TM and Time
PETALING JAYA: Both Telekom Malaysia Bhd
(TM) and TIME Dotcom Bhd will benefit more in a 5G environment versus the mobile players by leasing more of their fibre to the latter. In addition, the likelihood of retail broadband pricing coming down further may be slim for now.
As 5G needs fibre backhaul, the mobile players may be forced to sign long-term agreements with TM and Time.
