Higher 5G fees expected to support DNB viability


DNB’s net debt was at RM4.43bil at end-FY24.

PETALING JAYA: Digital Nasional Bhd’s (DNB) fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) minimum commitment fees may need to rise to a still-manageable RM270mil to RM290mil per access seeker to cover cash cost in the financial year 2026 (FY26).

This comes amid ongoing efforts to steer DNB towards financial sustainability following a challenging FY24, which saw the company report a substantial net loss of RM1.21bil (partly due to low revenue recognition) and net cash outflow of RM799mil (despite modest capital expenditure).
