Ishsal: No intention to profit from 5G


Ishsal: It is a critical and valuable national resource that must benefit the nation from a variety of facets based on principles of providing pervasive, high-quality and affordable access to industry and society.

PETALING JAYA: The government has no plans to profit from award of the 5G spectrum, according to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chairman Al-Ishsal Ishak.

Such a policy would be a major shift from the past as telecoms players, which had to pay big sums of money to use spectrum for their services, may not be overcharged for usage. In turn, consumers should benefit from such a move.
