KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) today issued a revised invitation for interested and eligible licencees to participate in the installation of network facilities and deployment of network service.
MCMC in a statement said the plan is for the provisioning of public cellular services at universal service targets under the National Digital Infrastructure Plan's (Jendela) Phase 1 initiative.
“This invitation replaces the original invitation issued on November 20.
“The revised invitation encompasses scope of work that is divided into two parts. Part one covers the installation of passive infrastructure while part two covers the installation of active infrastructure and the deployment of public cellular services,” it said.
The MCMC said interested licencees under the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998 can opt to participate in either part one or part two.
“The revised scope of work and eligibility criteria is meant to expedite implementation as it will allow a greater number of licencees to participate in this exercise, which covers 1,661 locations in 106 clusters nationwide.
“The closing date for registration of interest is on February 2 and the submission of draft universal service plans by interested and eligible licencees is on March 31.” – Bernama, January 15, 2021
