Malaysia - Major Telecommunications Operators
Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd, June 2011, Pages: 22
The changing landscape of the Malaysian telecom market has over time witnessed the restructuring of all the main players. The government has been a strong supporter of the rationalisation of what had been seen as an ‘overcrowded’ operator market at times, this referring to the mobile segment. A particularly significant merger between Telekom and Celcom took place early on, creating a lot of interest. At the same time, but with less fanfare, Maxis acquired Time dotCom’s mobile unit. These changes resulted in the number of mobile operators being effectively reduced from five to three. The allocation of 3G mobile licences has also been controversial with one of the operators initially missing out then picking up one in a surprising fashion. More recently incumbent Telekom Malaysia, as part of a major restructure, ‘decoupled’ its mobile and fixed-line businesses in a move that saw Celcom and its mobile operations become part of Telekom Malaysia International (TMI) which in turn became Axiata.
Coming into 2011 there were three major mobile operators – Maxis, Celcom and DiGi - and one dominant fixed operator – Telekom Malaysia. Maxis Communications had a mobile subscriber base of 14 million, with Celcom in second place on 11 million, while DiGi was number three with 9 million subscribers. This report looks at the significant telecom operators across the Malaysian market.
Companies covered in this report include: Telekom Malaysia; Celcom; Maxis Communications; Time dotcom; Axiata; U Mobile; U Telecom; DiGi; TM Touch; TM Cellular; TRI Celcom; Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB); TMNet
