At the time, the aim was to have the memorandum tabled in the first week of March but now, the minister has since provided a more specific date of 11 March. This comes from a tweet by the minister’s official Twitter account earlier today:
— Annuar Musa (@AnnuarMusa) March 3, 2022 Even though the confirmation only came last month, it has been known since late last year that the four biggest mobile telcos in the country are very much in favour of DWN instead of SWN. According to the original report, they apparently argued that using the DWN model will not only mean a faster 5G rollout but also allow them to still compete against each other. As the tabling is going to be one week behind the initial schedule, it looks like the country is finally getting a step closer to actually getting 5G rolled out throughout the country. Until then though, YTL Communications remains the only 5G telco in the country while TM who already signed up with DNB is still going through internal testing. (Source: Annuar Musa / Twitter.)
