5G players await more details before committing

PETALING JAYA: It is no surprise that none of the telecoms players have signed any agreement with Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) for 5G wholesale access because the latter has yet to meet all the technical and security requirements the operators are asking for, industry sources said.

They said even the wholesale pricing structure offered for usage of 5G network is seen to be “too high’’ and this could possibly translate to higher pricing for user service.
