MCMC committed to ensure telcos do not charge extra for 5G access


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will ensure mobile network providers do not charge for 5G access.

The MCMC corporate communications team said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil's announcement that telcos will not impose additional charges for 5G network access is in line with the government's continuous efforts to provide fair access to technology for all Malaysians.

"The MCMC will ensure all network service operators are in compliance with the announcement," it said.

As of Dec 31, the MCMC said 5G network providers have achieved 80.2% coverage in residential areas.

It also said any complaints regarding 5G charges can be made through the MCMC consumer portal at http://aduan.mcmc.gov.my or 1-800 188 030.

Fahmi on Jan 9 said telco companies notified him of their decision not to impose charges for 5G access.
