KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia will have to wait another year before it can roll out 5G services after spectrum allocations to five telcos, one politically well-connected but lacking experience, were nullified due to the backroom nature in which they were sealed, sources told Nikkei.
Malaysia had been hoping to roll out 5G commercial products by September and allocated spectrum to Axiata's Celcom, Digi.Com, Maxis, Telekom Malaysia and unlisted Altel Communications.
