The MNOs already been given their privilege of creating their own network during 4G era. CelcomDigi and Maxis have the best coverage but at what cost? What Malaysian get? High 4G price with ridiculous FUP. Even with that privilege, Malaysia 4G internet speed is still one of the slowest in Southeast Asia.
To make DNB sound more efficient, DNB only need to use 100Mhz of N78 and 20Mhz of L28 to be have of the fastest MEDIAN 5G speed in the whole world while other country with millimeter wave spectrum is below Malaysia.
https://www.lowyat.net/2022/266106/malaysia...load-speed-sea/In 2022, while the world already launched 5G in 2020, Malaysia telco mostly still using 4G - that is why we are the slowest speed in region. Gov been withholding the spectrum but blame it on telco not launching 5G. Most telcos like Celcom and Maxis already claimed they are hardware ready waiting for spectrum to enable 5G in 2019.
Your comparison is always biased without stating the amount of users in the network and time period of 5G launch for Malaysia vs other countries 5G.
The right way to compare is based on same amount of users but the info not easy to acquire therefore shall compare based on year of launch. A 3 year old 5G networks vs a 3 year old 5G network.
DNB 5G speed is observably slowing down now … are we still fastest in the world?
What i observe was DNB start self proclaiming fastest and this and that after few months launch to compare with other telcos in region been using 5G for years.
The agenda i saw probably Ericsson want to show the world single wholesale network (only 1 in the world) works so the marketing cost throws in to buy all the biased recognition.
From an investor point of view, reason no telco wants DNB cause:
1. DNB using Ericsson hardware which none telcos in Malaysia using, incompatibility is an issue.
2. DNB has MOF as major shareholders and golden share, no reason to buy into DNB when cant control + potential fund mismanagement or songlap will happen as like most GLC
3. DNB as per gov is not for profit making company - why buy into company that purpose not to make money?
DNB is a shithole made by MOF now looking for telco to cover the hole. The concept is a problem the first place + Ericsson as equipment vendor. It will be a long road to come out with a solution for DNB, and network quality will deteriote without gov continue to pump money to build sites.
Second wholesale network will have better potential by the outlook.
