Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7e9618/malaysia_telecom) has announced the addition of the "Malaysia - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband" report to their offering.
The Annual Publication, Malaysia - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband, provides a comprehensive overview of the trends and developments in the telecommunications and digital media markets in Malaysia. Malaysia has worked hard to create one of the more advanced telecom environments in the developing world. This task of building an advanced telecom sector has had strong links to national pride; certainly for a period in the 1990s the country busily promoted itself as a regional high technology hub. In recent times, however, Malaysia has adopted a quieter profile and busily gone about the task of putting a technologically progressive economy in place. On one hand it has a booming mobile market which has attracted a lot of attention; by contrast, for example, without much fuss it has been busy building up an impressive e-government capability. While still in an expansion phase the country's telecom sector has undergone some important restructuring. This has involved the regulator progressively introducing reforms. In the meantime, the telecom companies have been doing battle in an increasingly competitive and changing market. It is true to say that the last decade has seen healthy overall growth in Malaysia's telecom sector. Coming into 2009 virtually all of the 27 million people in Malaysia had a mobile telephone service. This meant Malaysia had the second highest mobile penetration in South East Asia after Singapore. Most significantly, growth in the mobile sector was continuing during 2009, with a significant push into 3G services. It is interesting to reflect back over the last 10 years: Malaysia's mobile market made a remarkable recovery after suffering a serious setback with the Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s. The mobile subscriber base has jumped from just 2 million in 1998 to 27 million (and 100% penetration) in 2008. Malaysians have also been big adopters of SMS, with the regulator reporting that 73 billion SMS were sent during 2008.
