The Malaysian telecommunications regulator has conducted a detailed study into the cost of operators to provide services and has flagged a review of wholesale prices, Telecompaper reported.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said: “We believe that this review is timely as it is expected to lower prices for consumers in the long term and contribute towards higher broadband penetration in Malaysia.”
The regulator has released a public inquiry paper with its preliminary findings and sets out the regulatory principles adopted by MCMC, the proposed wholesale prices, and the regulator’s preliminary views on whether to regulate those prices.
The MCMC will make a final decision by the end of this year.
