I REFER to Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah’s comments to the media last Sunday about his ministry’s commitment to implementing the initiatives under the National Digital Network (Jendela) in line with efforts to strengthen the level of connectivity and quality of communication services in this country, especially in driving the post-Covid-19 digital economy.
Among others, Saifuddin said the targets for this year are to provide fixed-line connectivity to 7.5 million premises, expand 4G coverage to 96.9% of populated areas, increase the average speed of mobile broadband to 35 megabits per second (Mbps) and shift all 3G spectrum to 4G.
