KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) will work closely with the government and the industry to ensure the success of the implementation of the two-phased 5G services in the country.

Citing Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil’s announcement earlier today, TM said the government had decided to implement 5G over two phases, whereby in the first phase, 80 per cent of the service coverage would be provided by Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB), while in the second phase, the implementation would shift to two networks.
