PUTRAJAYA: The special committee overseeing the implementation of 5G will prepare a Cabinet memorandum soon to discuss and decide whether it is time to allow a second network, as the country’s 5G coverage has reached 80.2% as of Dec 31.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said a second 5G network will also determine whether it enables more sustainable implementation and provides more opportunities for telecommunications companies to offer better services.
