While the government is striving to break monopolies held by the likes of Touch 'n Go and Puspakom, DNB's role as sole 5G network provider appears to be safe—for now.
Since then, a lot of attention has turned towards Digital Nasional Berhad , the single 5G network provider in the country. This could be considered a monopoly, but the company can breathe a sigh of relief—for now. According to the, Digital and Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the government has yet to make a decision regarding DNB’s role.
“We have yet to make a policy decision and I hope we will be able to do so in a week or two,” he said. “We may not necessarily look only from the monopoly point of view, as there are many things we need to consider. Insya-Allah, we will announce it soon.” It’s worth noting that DNB is fundamentally different from TnG and Puspakom. Whereas the others are independently-operated firms owned by government-linked companies —TnG by CIMB, Puspakom by DRB-Hicom—DNB is itself owned by the government through the Ministry of Finance. That means the rollout of the 5G single wholesale network is being handled by the government itself rather than being assigned to a company with close ties to it.
