MCMC, telcos to discuss 5G issues, dual network on May 8, says Fahmi


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and telecommunication companies (telcos) will meet on Monday (May 8) following the Cabinet’s decision to implement a dual 5G network once the current roll-out under Digital Nasional Bhd has reached 80% of populated areas, says Fahmi Fadzil.

The Communications and Digital Minister said he would explain the government’s decision on the matter, which will involve several entities and telcos working together to build adequate telecommunication towers to ensure there is more than one network available after the 5G coverage target under the single network is achieved.
