PETALING JAYA: None of the local mobile players have agreed to use Putrajaya’s 5G network – rolled out today – citing transparency and pricing issues, according to a government agency and industry captains.

Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) – a state-owned network wholesaler – told Reuters that no agreement had been reached with carriers, adding that “its initial timeline for negotiations had been too optimistic”.

However, it still hopes to launch the service in three urban centres, including Kuala Lumpur.


DNB will now seek formal long-term agreements early next year and talks to deploy 5G services will continue.
