KUALA LUMPUR: The decline in the telecommunication industry’s mobile service revenue (MSR) in the third quarter suggests a further stabilisation in competitive promotional activities. They said Industry MSR growth had eased to 0.5 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) in third quarter (Q3) of 2017. This was lower than the y-o-y growth of 0.9 per cent in Q2 and 2.8 per cent in Q1. Quarter-on-quarter, the third quarter MSR grew 1.6 per cent after two successive quarters of decline, supported mainly by stronger prepaid revenue growth and some seasonality. RHB expects mobile operators including Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) to submit their interest for the coveted spectrum.
