Govt will use all available tech to achieve 100% telecom access by 2025, says Annuar


KOTA KINABALU: Every technology available is being explored to ensure that 100% of Malaysians, even those in the most isolated areas, will have access to telecommunications services by 2025.

Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa said the target, set under the 12th Malaysian Plan (12MP), includes exploring Low Earth Orbit satellites, radio access networks and TV white space, which utilises unused frequencies between the active ones in the VHF and UHF spectrum.
