The operators are CelcomDigi Bhd, Maxis Broadband Sdn Bhd, U Mobile Sdn Bhd and YTL Communications Sdn Bhd. "This cooperation is a suitable platform that will enable us to expand Internet connectivity in Sarawak. "Digital transformation is one of the enablers of our Post-Covid Development Strategy towards becoming a high-income state by 2030, and telecommunication infrastructure and service providers play an important role in this," Julaihi told a press conference after witnessing the agreement signing ceremony here on Friday (May 24). He said the SMART600 towers were an intervention by the state government to complement the Federal Government's efforts and speed up the provision of Internet coverage in Sarawak. To date, 512 of the 600 towers have been built. "Of this, 308 towers are already on air," Julaihi said. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, who was also present, said the agreement was the culmination of many discussions with telecommunication companies (telcos).
