Fiberising Malaysia

In 2019, we’re expecting a bigger push towards making new technologies that we’ve seen in 2018 become a norm. Things like Industry 4.0. Last year there was a lot of talk around fibre broadband, from our Communications & Multimedia Minister, demanding telcos to double the speed and half the price. It’s this high speed connectivity that we need to unlock the potential of digital economy that we strive to achieve. We speak to Paul McManus, Head of Enterprise for Maxis about fiberising Malaysia and the challenges ahead.
