High speed broadband by third quarter By Lee Wei Lian
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 — Malaysians will be able to subscribe to thehigh speed broadband network (HSBB) by the third quarter of this year.
The HSBB is the fibre to home broadband initiative jointly implemented by the government and Telekom Malaysia Bhd.
With the HSBB network, Malaysians will finally get to enjoy servicessuch as television over IP and high speed data access which are alreadywidespread in advanced countries like Sweden, Korea and Japan.
“Retail offers for high speed broadband will be available in thethird quarter,” says an official familiar with the HSBB implementation.
The HSBB is expected to provide speeds of between 10Mbps and 100Mbps to home users.
Another date anxiously awaited by broadband industry observers is mid-March.
That is when the six months deadline expires for Telekom Malaysia toarticulate the terms and conditions of access to the HSBB network forthe rest of the broadband industry players.
These terms and conditions, also known as the access list will beclosely watched as one of the points of contention of the HSBB projectwas that it would potentially give Telekom a monopoly on high speedbroadband services.
The access list is supposed to mitigate that risk by ensuring fairand open access to the HSBB network for other broadband providers on awholesale basis.
Meanwhile, Telekom’s one time competitor for the HSBB project,Pahang state government backed High Speed Broadband Technology Sdn Bhd,has applied for a license to roll out broadband.
It had delayed applying for a licence when bidding for the project last year.
It is learnt that they have scaled back their plans from anationwide broadband rollout to focus on a pilot project, probably inthe Kuantan area.
The government yesterday said that the country had a 21 per cent household broadband penetration rate at the end of last year.
The government is also pushing for a 50 per cent broadband penetration rate by the end of 2010.
Sources familiar with the targets however say that consultants hadadvised the government that 50 per cent penetration by the end of nextyear was not realistic given normal growth trajectory projections andproposed a target of 35 per cent instead.
However, the government has decided to stick with the higher target.
Once the HSBB network is implemented however, it will create questions on the definition of broadband itself.
Currently, even connections as low as 384kbps are being classifiedas broadband. If the definition of broadband were revised upwards, thiswill affect the household broadband penetration rate. |
