Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa today urged telecommunication companies (telcos) in the country to be more proactive in upgrading internet services at existing telecommunication towers, especially in rural and remote areas.

He said more proactive participation from the telcos involved was needed in efforts to help the government increase internet coverage, thus ensuring people in these areas would also enjoy more efficient and quality internet access.
