MALAYSIA'S plan for all its mobile network operators to use a single government-owned 5G network will mean the country's telcos have to differentiate themselves through the services they provide, said market watchers. There could also be an opportunity for smaller players to take share from larger ones as the playing field is levelled.
The plan for a wholesale 5G network was first proposed in 2019 and shelved. It was revived this year with an infrastructure contract worth RM4 billion (S$1.3 billion) awarded to Ericsson.
