The industry revenue has quadrupled to RM51 billion over this period from RM12 billion in the late 1990s on the back of a sound market capitalisation of RM190 billion, which has also grown significantly from RM50 billion. Notably in 2011 and 2012 alone, capex for the telecommunications sector alone reached unprecedented RM9 billion levels. We believe these and also the private-public partnership in building-up infrastructure such as the High Speed Broadband (HSBB) reflects investors’ confidence. On the other hand, the coverage extensions were mitigated with Universal Service Provision (USP) funding which is based on the industry’s contribution and managed by the MCMC. In 2012, an additional 2,489 Kampung Tanpa Wayar were added to make up a total of 3,844 in operation nationwide and a total of 664 towers deployed to provide extended coverage to help close the digital divide. Given the momentum that we saw in the industry during 2012, we are optimistic with the opportunities that are in store for us in 2013, especially innovations in the areas of content and applications, which is crucial to ensure sustainable returns on investment as well as to continue to act as the enabler and catalyst for the economic growth. It may mean doing the basics better. For example, in 2012 we have seen a few success stories relating to rural and urban folks getting their business online, thanks to the accessibility and availability of broadband services. We believe the market will continue to grow with the evolving environment of our industry demands that we constantly challenge, renew and improve our approaches. In the past ten years, mobile devices have become pivotal to the business and our personal lives. Facilitating the new wave of digital lifestyle, there is a major transitional shift from traditional (voice) mobile devices to Internet-enabled smartphone devices. Smartphones are inculcating new habits among users with, on average, 20% starting to use data-intensive applications related to video, TV, maps and navigation since purchasing their device. Research from Strategy Analytics revealed that 1 billion units of smartphones are used or a penetration of 1 in 7 worldwide. For comparison, in Malaysia the penetration stands at 1 in 4. We believe smartphone ownership in Malaysia will reach a critical mass in 2013. This could be partly due to the incentive under Budget 2013 by the Government which allows RM200 rebates for purchase of smartphones to eligible youths coupled with the decline in the price of smartphones worldwide. To a certain extent, this will encourage growth in mobile broadband penetration and also data usage. For the service providers, potential revenue is expected to be multiplied as smartphones are able to generate up to 35 times the level of data traffic that a basic feature phone would use. Going forward, we foresee attractive packages with good Internet access, ability to support applications and coverage in the areas they roam on a daily basis are the main reasons for consumers to subscribe or purchase smartphones. Potentially, service providers may also increase the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) with the increase in demand for data services. As the industry and nation gather speed to make another leap forward towards 2020, a collaborative focus by all stakeholders working together to build digital lifestyle ecosystems enabling a connected future is critical to reap the many benefits from opportunities arising. This is proven by the ability to achieve broadband penetration rate of 66% of the household and mobile cellular penetration of 142%, with 3G subscriptions gaining ground year on year. 5 IPR 2012 Shaping a Connected Future The efforts in communications service provision needs to be reinforced such that challenges ahead can also be turned to opportune business manoeuvres. Towards this end, the Government has allocated the spectrum for 4G-LTE (Long Term Evolution) in step for the service providers to provide all IP-based 4G services. Going forward, the main focus will be on capacity and the quality of service, hence, the timely rollout of 4G-LTE is scheduled in 2013 with an estimated 10% population coverage, reaching 50% by 2017. More services are expected to be offered at users’ convenience, or on demand, enlisting cloud services and supporting software. Therefore, in order to ensure sustainable and orderly growth of the industry, for the MCMC and other stakeholders, there is much groundwork to cover. This includes paving a sound basis in shaping a connected future in this new decade of growth. Hence, the MCMC’s task remains one of dual role of industry regulator as well as industry growth promoter. From the regulatory perspective, the implementation of the revised Access Pricing for the period 2013 to 2015 and Accounting Separation is the next milestone in enhancing competition in the communications market. Competition itself will promote efficiency, i.e. in terms of technical, productivity and allocation of resources. It is therefore a powerful tool to further enhance the industry performance and attract new investments.

  • Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-Border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 2, September 2011 Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia Nuurrianti Jalli* and Yearry Panji Setianto** Previous studies on transnational media have emphasized transnational media organizations and tended to ignore the role of cross-border content, especially in a non-Western context. This study aims to fill theoretical gaps within this scholarship by providing an analysis of the Southeast Asian media sphere, focusing on Indonesia and Malaysia in a historical context—transnational media flow before 2010. The two neighboring nations of Indonesia and Malaysia have many things in common, from culture to language and religion. This study not only explores similarities in the reception and appropriation of transnational content in both countries but also investigates why, to some extent, each had a different attitude toward content pro- duced by the other. It also looks at how governments in these two nations control the flow of transnational media content. Focusing on broadcast media, the study finds that cross-border media flow between Indonesia and Malaysia was made pos- sible primarily in two ways: (1) illicit or unintended media exchange, and (2) legal and intended media exchange. Illicit media exchange was enabled through the use of satellite dishes and antennae near state borders, as well as piracy. Legal and intended media exchange was enabled through state collaboration and the purchase of media rights; both governments also utilized several bodies of laws to assist in controlling transnational media content. Based on our analysis, there is a path of transnational media exchange between these two countries.

  • Astro Case Study
    Case Study ASTRO RADIO: VIRTUAL CONSOLE TECHNOLOGY MALAYSIA’S LARGEST BROADCASTER REINVENTS RADIO STUDIOS WITH LAWO VIRTUAL MIXING Case Study VIRTUAL MIXING AT ASTRO RADIO “A RADICAL RE-IMAGINING OF WHAT AN ON-AIR STUDIO COULD LOOK LIKE.” Astro Radio, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, has become one of Southeast Asia‘s most influential broadcasters since their inception in 1996. With 11 radio formats in multiple languages, including the popular Era, Sinar, Gegar, My, Hitz and other channels, Astro Radio reaches over 15.8 million listeners every week in Malaysia alone. Astro began operations in 1996 and immediately became known for their technological excellence, employing a cutting-edge audio routing system and digital broadcast consoles custom manufactured to meet their technical requirements. But by 2006, Astro needed more capabilities and simpler studio workflows, so that on-air talent could focus on content creation rather than technical duties. “Around 2015, we picked up on the touchscreen trend,” says Bala Murali Subramaney, Astro Radio’s Chief Technology Officer. “We envisioned a full-blown radio broadcast console - on a touchscreen. Not a ‘lite’ console with only some console features nor a touchscreen with a console ‘simulation’.” Astro Radio Broadcast Center, Kuala Lumpur The virtual console Astro engineers envisioned would be a true radio broadcast console, with all the features and functionalities of the professional broadcast consoles they relied on. “We took the best features of our first console, analyzed common operator mistakes and asked for improvement suggestions, then we condensed this data into a comprehensive document and presented it as our mandate to Lawo – whose response was the Zirkon-2s modular broadcast console,” says Bala.
