On 18 Nov 2009, YTL Comms signed a Wholesale Ethernet Service and Master Tenancy for Infrastructure Sharing Agreement with Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), thus bringing the promise of a truly converged seamless broadband connectivity one step closer to reality.
The 15-year agreement inked by two of Malaysia’s most recognisable brands will enable YTL Communications to leverage on TM’s nationwide Wholesale Ethernet service, while riding on the High Speed Broadband (“HSBB”) infrastructure, and TM’s other telecommunications facilities, to deliver 4G services nationwide by 2010.
The partnership agreements were signed by Tan Sri Dato’ (Dr) Francis Yeoh, YTL Group Managing Director and Wing K. Lee, Chief Executive Officer of YTL Communications, while TM was represented by Group Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa, and Executive Vice President, Wholesale Business, Rafaai Samsi.
Tan Sri Dato’ (Dr) Francis Yeoh hailed the collaboration between YTL Communications and TM as a pivotal and strategic move that will help Malaysia achieve its vision of being a broadband nation and to have a complete eco-system that provides for a truly converged nationwide mobile internet service using 4G technology.
“We are extremely delighted with this collaboration with TM as both parties share a common goal to accelerate nationwide broadband penetration in Malaysia and bridge the digital divide in the country between the urban and rural populations.”
“Furthermore, YTL Communications’ nationwide 4G services will help Malaysia’s economy be truly innovation-led and will enable the country to be a centre of excellence for mobile internet technology,” Tan Sri Francis Yeoh declared while adding that YTL’s mission is to provide affordable, world-class quality products and services that improve the way people in Malaysia learn, work and play.
