KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 22): The Government of Malaysia Special Purpose Vehicle (GOMSPV) will be the entity to oversee the deployment of fifth generation (5G) infrastructure and network nationwide, said Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chairman Dr Fadhlullah Suhaimi Abdul Malek.
He said GOMSPV will be licensed under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and subject to MCMC’s regulatory oversight.
“This single entity will manage the transition to 5G network which would reduce duplication of networks. As we push communications as the third public utility, companies can focus on providing better internet services for customers,” he said in a virtual media briefing on ‘Accelerating 5G Deployment in Malaysia’, today.
