PETALING JAYA: Celcom Axiata Bhd, Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd, Maxis Bhd and U Mobile Sdn Bhd have submitted a proposal for the establishment of two Wholesale Networks (Dual Wholesale Networks or DWN), which will be developed and operated by two consortiums involving the government, Digital Nasional Bhd and mobile network operators (MNOs) who are ready to invest.

       “We see the DWN model as a feasible option that leverages MNOs capabilities, existing resources, including infrastructure, supply chain and the experience of thousands of Malaysian technical talents.

       “We are committed and we look forward to playing our part in realising the long-term sustainable benefits to the nation, a win-win solution for the government, rakyat and the industry. As the matter will be tabled to the cabinet, as announced by our Minister of Communications and Multimedia, we will respectfully wait for the decision from the government,” the telcos said.

       The telcos reiterated their full support towards the government’s agenda through the MyDigital initiative and the development of the digital economy in Malaysia where 5G networks are among the critical infrastructure.
