00:00The second 5G network is controlled by the private sector and can be used by service providers to ignore the coverage of the outskirts of the city,
00:09said the chief executive officer of the Malaysian Utilities Union Association, T Saravanan.
00:15He added that the motive to guide the benefits of the provider companies is concerned,
00:20widening the gap between the city and the outskirts of the city.
00:24This is because the provision of the second network may prioritize the infrastructure of urban areas that are capable of advancing in terms of economy.
00:32Economy expert Goh Lintai from the University of Malaya said that the outskirts of the city finally received an impression of what it was like when 4G was launched,
00:42when the telecommunications industry was dominated by several main players.
00:47It is said that telecommunications companies are slow to provide services to the outskirts of the city because the area is less profitable,
00:54taking into account the lack of population density and high infrastructure costs.
00:59Goh suggested that the government provide incentives as compensation to the telecommunications industry for investing in infrastructure outside the city.
