AN international rating agency has predicted that competition in Malaysia's crowded telecommunications sector will prove so intense next year that margins could be shaved by between one and 1.5 percentage points.
In a special report released on Tuesday by Fitch Ratings, it warned that "competition in the Malaysian telecom industry will remain intense in 2015, particularly among mobile operators, which could lead to their average operating earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation margin narrowing by one pp-1.5pp".
