Investors put off by Malaysia’s high-cost, low-speed broadband

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 — Consumers in Malaysia pay some of the highestprices for broadband in the region, one major reason being the monopolywhich state-owned Telekom Malaysia (TM) holds on submarine cablelanding rights, a senior executive at a multinational company hasasserted.

There is no shortage of gateway service providers seeking landingrights because of the pent-up demand for quality bandwidth, but thegovernment must deregulate or liberalise gateways in order to improvecompetitiveness by providing larger broadband at lower costs, said RyazPatel, Intel Electronics country manager for Malaysia and Brunei.

Patel’s comments that the lacklustre quality and high cost ofbroadband is hurting the country’s knowledge aspirations come on theheels of warnings by Australian businesses that slow Internet speedswere putting them off investing in Malaysia.
Malaysia Australia Business Council vice-chairman Michael Halpinsaid large technical documents from Australia had difficulty gettingsent over because of the poor quality broadband.

“Australian and American investors see this as a nuisance and an impediment to them to do business successfully here,” he said.

In a press briefing on Intel’s roadmap for 2010, Patel observedMalaysian consumers pay significantly more for broadband, but even tobuy broadband wholesale as a service provider was ‘“frighteninglyexpensive” compared to its neighbours.
His comparison of regional costs showed Malaysian broadband offerssome of the lowest speeds in the region, but at the highest costs.

For the fastest bandwidth of 100 megabit per second, Singapore users pay nearly US$85 (RM286.56) or US$10.20 mbps.
For 4mbps in Malaysia, consumers pay US$76. Vietnam’s 3mbpsbandwidth — although a tad slower — costs users US$50.55, or US$16.85mbps.

In the region, broadband costs in Indonesia and India also tend to be higher.
TM is likely to resist liberalisation as it has invested huge sumsin infrastructure and now owns or leases capacity on more than 10submarine cable networks which span more than 60,000 fibre-route miles.

But Patel said if Malaysia aspires to be a knowledge-based society,it needs to get more computers as well as quality and affordablebroadband into more homes.

“(And) the single biggest link has to do with landing rights.”

Malaysia is aiming for 50 per cent household broadband penetrationnext year from about 30 per cent now. Broadband users can access 10MBspeeds next year when TM rolls out high-speed broadband in selectedsuburbs in the Klang Valley in the first phase of its nationwiderollout.

Last month, Thailand broke a state-owned enterprise hold onsubmarine cable landing rights in the country by granting a licence tothe first private operator, True Internet Gateway Co Ltd, which pointedout it would be able to source submarine bandwidth capacity from a widerange of providers directly, resulting in greater bandwidth beingavailable at more competitive prices. — Business Times Singapore
