Two Get Malaysian 3G Licences
August 12, 2002 - source: BWCS
Following a six-month tender process the Malaysian government
has awarded two 3G concessions to Telekom Malaysia Berhad and UMTS
(Malaysia). A total of three batches of 3G spectrum were on offer
but only two of the original five bidders met the government’s strict
qualifying criteria.
Apart from the two winners the other three companies that tendered
for the three blocks of spectrum were Celcom, E-Touch and TIMESat.
The blocks of paired 15Mhz spectrum were priced at MYR50 million
and licences are valid for 15 years.
Having witnessed the problems created in other countries through
poorly designed 3G licence contests the Malaysian administration
has been at pains to ensure that its licensees will be able to meet
its targets for delivering next-generation services. It has spent
the two months since the tender deadline closed analysing the business
plans of the five applicants to assess their technical and financial
credentials.
The government has also placed an obligation on the new licensees
to open their networks to other companies wishing to become virtual
service providers. The GSM operator, DiGi.Com which chose not to
take part in the 3G licensing process has already indicated that
it is keen to explore MVNO opportunities.
