KULAIJAYA, July 18 (Bernama) -- Telekom Malaysia Bhd has signed up 399,000
customers for UniFi services in Johor since its launch in March 2010, said its
vice president for Johor, Mohd Roslan Mohd Rashidi.
"The increase in subscribers every month is a good sign since its launch
which was helped by the wider coverage and the increasing awareness of the
services," he said here today.
Mohd Roslan said this to reporters after the signing of the service
agreement between TM and AME Development Sdn Bhd here today.
Also present was chief executive officer of Iskandar Regional Development
Authority, Datuk Ismail Ibrahim.
The service agreement involves the provision of the network infrastructure
and high-speed broadband (HSBB) services in the two new industrial areas in
Johor -- i-Park@Southern Industrial and Logistics Clusters (SILC), Nusajaya and
i-Park@Indahpura, Kulaijaya.
Meanwhile, managing director of AME Development, Kelvin Lee Chai, said under
the agreement, all factores in i-Park@SILC would be provided with HSBB services.
"i-Park@SILC will receive free 5Mbps UniFi services for two years, access to
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and
Metro-Ethernet.
"The factories in i-Park@Indahpura will get access to ISDN PRI and later
UniFi," he said.
Meanwhile, Ismail said the collaboration marked another milestone for TM in
bringing HSBB network connectivity to all five flagship zones within Iskandar
Malaysia.
"This connectivity is expected to become the key driver in attracting more
foreign direct investments to venture into Iskandar Malaysia.
"This effort will definitely help Iskandar Malaysia to continue and strive
to become the best economic region," he said. -- BERNAMA
