Maxis, UMobile in multi-billion sharing deal
http://www.btimes.com.my/articles/20111021213505/Article/
KUALA LUMPUR: Maxis Bhd has entered into a multi-billion ringgit agreement to share its third-generation network with UMobile Sdn Bhd, the first such deal in Malaysia.
The deal is for an initial 10 years, Maxis said in a statement.
As a result, Maxis will receive a significant new source of revenue and will enhance utilization of its network in areas that are currently under-utilized.
The agreement also involves long term evolution sharing when the spectrum becomes available and the technology is rolled out. LTE technology means faster speeds for consumers.
Maxis chief executive officer Sandip Das said this collaboration marks a milestone in the telecommunications industry in Malaysia as it shares the active telecommunication systems and operating frequency spectrum.
It also goes beyond the existing physical infrastructure sharing which has been practiced for long time between operators in the industry.
"As a leader in the country, this collaboration is significant for Maxis as it reflects our commitment to promote non-duplication of infrastructure".
He added that active sharing results in greater cost savings which in turn translates to increased direct revenue for both companies.
This newly signed agreement is equally beneficial to U Mobile as it enables the company to accelerate the speed of its 3G network rollout by 4 to 5 times and at the same time achieve significant cost-savings through network sharing with Maxis.
The shared locations will exclude urban market centres, such as Klang Valley, Penang, Johor Bahru and Ipoh, where U Mobile is committed to continue providing high speed mobile broadband services.
UMobile chief executive officer Dr Kaizad Heerjee said this mutually beneficial partnership will accelerate the expansion of its current 3G footprint to more than 4,000 3G sites in Malaysia by early-2013.
The partnership also responds to the Government’s call for telcos to reduce duplication of network assets, enabling operators to deliver better services.
