Malaysia’s NFCP plan officially launched; Gigabit internet and more jobs incoming

The Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Ministry (KKMM) has officially launched its official plan for the NFCP or National Fibre and Communication Plan, that aims to increase the internet connectivity of Malaysians.

The 5-year plan aims to give citizens a better internet experience, through seven steps. The infographic by Bernama outlines the plan:

Goodies that we can expect from NFCO includes Gigabit internet to selected industrial areas and capital cities by 2023, fibre connectivity to 70% of schools, hospitals, libraries, police stations and post offices by 2022, a benchmark of 30Mbps to 98% of the population and better mobile connectivity along the Pan Borneo Highway.

The plan looks to be impressive, but it is up to the government to execute and implement the plan as the current government’s track record is not as clean-cut as expected and required. But still, Gigabit internet for all sounds pretty awesome.
