THE entry of little-known outfit called Broadnet Network into Malaysia’s broadband scene has sent shockwaves into the industry. Both are believed to be questioning Broadnet’s entry or at least coming to terms with what lies ahead. The question asked in this whole development is Broadnet’s track record to be afforded such a plum deal to spearhead the NFP. It already has a fibre network on its transmission lines but that is being used for supervisory control and data acquisition purposes. And going by Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak, the entry of the private sector for investments into building up the country’s fibre infrastructure is welcomed.
