Strategy  c3: Improving Digital  Infrastructure Improving Digital  Infrastructure Improving Digital  Infrastructure The deployment  of  digital  infrastructure is  constrained  by  high cost  and  low  return  on  investment  particularly in  rural  areas, resulting  in  inadequate broadband  coverage.  Several  other issues  including  the issuance of  the right  of  way  and  permits  for communication  infrastructure continue to hinder  the deployment The deployment  of  digital  infrastructure is  constrained  by  high cost  and  low  return  on  investment  particularly in  rural  areas, resulting  in  inadequate broadband  coverage.  Several  other issues  including  the issuance of  the right  of  way  and  permits  for communication  infrastructure continue to hinder  the deployment of  digital  infrastructure.  In  this  regard,  the capacity  and  coverage of  the digital  infrastructure will  be further  improved  to support  the development  of  digital  economy as  well  as  increase efficiency  and productivity.  In  the remaining  Plan  period,  measures  to improve broadband  will  be undertaken  to increase connectivity,  affordability and  quality.  In  addition,  efforts  will  be undertaken  to complete the migration  to digital  terrestrial  television  (DTT).

Improving  broadband  connectivity Improving  broadband  connectivity Efforts  will  be intensified  to improve broadband  coverage and capacity  through  the National  Fiberisation  and  Connectivity Plan Efforts  will  be intensified  to improve broadband  coverage and capacity  through  the National  Fiberisation  and  Connectivity Plan to keep  pace with  the development  of  digital  economy.  This  will involve the expansion  of  fibre networks,  together  with  commercial deployment  of  communications  infrastructure towards  achieving Efforts  will  be intensified  to improve broadband  coverage and capacity  through  the National  Fiberisation  and  Connectivity Plan to keep  pace with  the development  of  digital  economy.  This  will involve the expansion  of  fibre networks,  together  with  commercial deployment  of  communications  infrastructure towards  achieving the target  of  95% broadband  coverage in  populated  areas.  In addition,  enforcement  of  the amended  Uniform Building  By-Laws will  be strengthened  to ensure installation  of  communications infrastructure in  all  new  commercial  and  residential  development. Meanwhile,  relevant  laws  will  be streamlined  to ensure communications  infrastructure is  provided  as  one of  the public the target  of  95% broadband  coverage in  populated  areas.  In addition,  enforcement  of  the amended  Uniform Building  By-Laws will  be strengthened  to ensure installation  of  communications infrastructure in  all  new  commercial  and  residential  development. Meanwhile,  relevant  laws  will  be streamlined  to ensure communications  infrastructure is  provided  as  one of  the public utilities.  Persistent  issues  such  as  the right  of  way  and  complicated procedures  related  to deployment  of  digital  infrastructure will  be resolved,  through  more integrated  and  coherent  collaboration amongst  Federal  and  state governments  as  well  as  local  authorities. Increasing  efficiency and  productivity of water supply and sewerage services Improving  broadband  affordability and  quality Improving  broadband  affordability and  quality The implementation  of  Mandatory  Standard  of  Access  Pricing and  Quality of  Services  will  be continuously  monitored  to provide better  consumer  protection  and  assure affordability  of  the fixed broadband  cost.  Efforts  will  be intensified  to reduce the price and  double the speed  of  fixed  broadband.  In  addition,  active engagement  with  the relevant  stakeholders  will  be further intensified  to improve the General  Consumer  Code,  which provides  model  procedures  for  service providers  to endeavour in  meeting  consumer  requirements.  This  will  ensure industry  is more customer-centric and  consumer  rights  are protected.  In addition,  the competition  provisions  in  the Communication  and Multimedia  Act  1998  will  also be reviewed  to ensure the market  is more competitive,  hence offering  better  pricing  for  consumers  and engagement  with  the relevant  stakeholders  will  be further intensified  to improve the General  Consumer  Code,  which provides  model  procedures  for  service providers  to endeavour in  meeting  consumer  requirements.  This  will  ensure industry  is The implementation  of  Mandatory  Standard  of  Access  Pricing and  Quality of  Services  will  be continuously  monitored  to provide better  consumer  protection  and  assure affordability  of  the fixed broadband  cost.  Efforts  will  be intensified  to reduce the price and  double the speed  of  fixed  broadband.  In  addition,  active engagement  with  the relevant  stakeholders  will  be further intensified  to improve the General  Consumer  Code,  which provides  model  procedures  for  service providers  to endeavour in  meeting  consumer  requirements.  This  will  ensure industry  is more customer-centric and  consumer  rights  are protected.  In addition,  the competition  provisions  in  the Communication  and Multimedia  Act  1998  will  also be reviewed  to ensure the market  is more competitive,  hence offering  better  pricing  for  consumers  and businesses. provides  model  procedures  for  service providers  to endeavour in  meeting  consumer  requirements.  This  will  ensure industry  is more customer-centric and  consumer  rights  are protected.  In addition,  the competition  provisions  in  the Communication  and Multimedia  Act  1998  will  also be reviewed  to ensure the market  is more competitive,  hence offering  better  pricing  for  consumers  and more customer-centric and  consumer  rights  are protected.  In addition,  the competition  provisions  in  the Communication  and Migrating  to digital  terrestrial  television Migrating  to digital  terrestrial  television Migrating  to digital  terrestrial  television Migrating  to digital  terrestrial  television In  the aspect  of  migrating  to the DTT,  the service is  targeted  to achieve 98% coverage upon  completion  of  the analogue switch  off In  the aspect  of  migrating  to the DTT,  the service is  targeted  to achieve 98% coverage upon  completion  of  the analogue switch  off by  first  quarter  of  2019.  Ultimately,  the DTT will  offer  new  valueadded  and  interactive services  to enhance user  experience through television.  The new  value-added  services  include e-Learning applications,  e-Shopping,  interactive and  online games  as  well  as In  the aspect  of  migrating  to the DTT,  the service is  targeted  to achieve 98% coverage upon  completion  of  the analogue switch  off by  first  quarter  of  2019.  Ultimately,  the DTT will  offer  new  valueadded  and  interactive services  to enhance user  experience through television.  The new  value-added  services  include e-Learning applications,  e-Shopping,  interactive and  online games  as  well  as web  TV.
