In 2007, the Cabinet sets the target for broadband penetration rate by household to
50% in 2010. This is part of the National Broadband Implementation (NBI) to accel-
erate the supply of broadband and its take up across the country. In this initiative all
broadband providers will participate in competing to provide the roll out of high speed
broadband.
The thrust of the national target is to have broadband implemented to cover the
whole country. Roll out will be facilitated by providing incentives and facilitating open
based competition that involve the provision of fixed line Digital Subscriber Line
(xDSL) and wireless technologies such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave
Access (WiMAX) and 3G/HSDPA services. Such services will cover the demand for
broadband speeds that range from 256Kbps to 4Mbps but below 10Mbps.
In terms of broadband with higher speeds of 10Mbps and above, the supply is
expected for high demand economic and industrial areas. The target is to have 1.3
million premises passed. This is executed through a Public Private Partnership (PPP)
agreement between TM and the government in a project called High Speed Broad-
band (HSBB).

National Broadband Implementation
(NBI) plan could be the launching pad
to kick-start Malaysia into the circle of
broadband community through the
concept of 1Malaysia: People First,
Performance Now. By connecting the
rakyat together, broadband plays a
vital role in promoting unity, improv-
ing productivity and competitiveness,
thus propelling Malaysia to a brighter
future.
Initial projects to raise broadband
awareness and to promote the take-
up of broadband services are the set
up of 73 community centres and 68
community broadband libraries at a
cost of RM92 million and RM29.2
million respectively.
