 Malaysia - Broadband Market
Malaysia continues to heavily promote itself as an Information Technology hub in the Asia region. On the back of the Multimedia Super Corridor project, high-tech companies have been at least establishing a presence in Malaysia. But for some time the wider community was not really embracing technology. There has been a surprisingly low interest in broadband Internet in relative terms, the national broadband penetration being only around 5% at the end of 2007. One of the bright spots has been WiFi, as the service providers start to rollout their ‘hotspot' services. And now that the government has issued some WiMAX licences, this is something that will be watched with interest, although that process has not been without its difficulties. This report looks at the extent to which high-speed Internet access is developing in the country.

Malaysia - Broadcasting
With its history of tight censorship laws, Malaysia did not open up the television broadcasting market to private operators until 1995. Despite this, the proportion of Malaysian households that have a television set has risen to over 95% of all households. There are six FTA TV channels and more than 100 pay TV channels offering a wide range of local and foreign programs in a broad selection of languages. Of particular note has been the strong growth of satellite TV operator, Astro. This report reviews the development of the television broadcasting sector, as the market sorts itself out, moves towards convergence and starts to address the challenges that new technology is bringing to the sector.

Malaysia - Internet Services
There is an increasing awareness of technology in Malaysia. With the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) project and the government's commitment to a technological society, a large number of high tech companies from around the world have started to set up a presence in Malaysia. But efforts at encouraging the wider community to embrace technology have so far not been totally successful. Dial-up Internet access is growing steadily, but there had been very little interest in broadband Internet. By 2008, however, things were starting to get interesting in the broadband market. This report looks at the take-up of Internet and e-commerce in Malaysia, as well as some of the key players.

Malaysia - Key Statistics Telecommunications Overview and Major Players
Many of the players in Malaysia's telecommunications sector were seriously affected by the economic crisis of the late 1990s. Despite this, there has been strong growth in the sector over the last decade. Fixed-line services jumped from around 2 million in 1990 to about 4.7 million (penetration of 20%) in 2002, but there has been virtually no growth since. The mobile market has been more spectacular, jumping from 3 million subscribers in 1999 to reach 21 million early in 2007 and having grown at a continuously strong rate until 2006 when the expansion slowed. This report looks at that growth. It also presents a view of the industry players and, in so doing, notes that the market has no doubt moved into a consolidation phase.

Malaysia - Mobile Communications - Major Mobile Operators
The changing landscape of the Malaysian mobile market has over time witnessed the restructuring of the main players in that market. The government has been a strong supporter of the rationalisation of what had been seen as an overcrowded market. A particularly significant merger between Telekom and Celcom took place, 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 operators being effectively reduced from five to three. The allocation of 3G licences has also been controversial with one of the operators initially missing out then picking up one in a surprising fashion. This report looks at the mobile operators in the Malaysian market.
