NOW that it has been affirmed that Malaysia will have a single wholesale network (SWN) model for the rollout of the country’s 5G network, the question is, how will this impact the performance of local mobile network operators or MNOs, most of which are public-listed companies?

Right after the government’s announcement on March 16 that there will only be a single network, a joint statement was issued by the four MNOs in the country – Celcom Axiata Bhd, Digi.Com Bhd, Maxis Bhd and U Mobile Sdn Bhd.
