CYBERJAYA: The Government wants the Malaysian Communi­cations and Multimedia Commission to find out why the cost of Internet services in the country is high.

Information, Communications, Cul­­­ture and Arts Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said that apart from the high cost of getting Internet connection, the public was also generally unhappy with the quality of the service, particularly its speed.

“Consumers’ main grouse is that they are charged more compared to users in other countries but the quality of service is not up to mark.

“We want to know how it (cost) can be brought down and at the same time improve on the quality,” he told reporters after a briefing at the commission’s office here yesterday.

Dr Rais also wanted the commission to ensure service providers delivered what they had promised so that consumers were not short-changed.

“If they promised Internet speed at 10 megabits per second, the public should not be experiencing a slow-as-tortoise service at one or two megabits,” he said.

He said action must be taken against service providers who failed to meet expectations.

Dr Rais said efforts must also be taken to close the digital gap between rural and urban areas, adding that fixed telephone line providers must expedite the laying of optical fibre cables so that people in villages could also enjoy Internet service.
