Abstract

This IDC study presents a background introduction of 3G and WiMAX service providers that have launched their wireless broadband services commercially in Malaysia. This study also discusses the benefits and detriments of 3G and WiMAX in Malaysia and the key drivers that will drive the adoption of these technologies in the country. IDC also shares with clients what should be done to improve and increase the broadband penetration in Malaysia.

"There will be no clear indication at the moment which technology, 3G or WiMAX, will prevail in Malaysia since both technologies have their pros and cons. What is important in the Malaysia context is to have a wireless broadband service provider that is able to provide seamless and good quality broadband connection. Consumers out there are unable to differentiate what technology has been used on their broadband connections, but they will churn out from a network if the broadband connections are not up to their expectations. The ultimate importance for wireless broadband service providers to remain relevant in Malaysia is to deliver quality broadband connectivity to the population," says Chua Fong Yang, associate analyst, Telecommunications Services, IDC Malaysia.
