2012/12/13, KUALA LUMPUR: Rolling out digital terrestrial television broadcast (DTTB) infrastructure in Malaysia will cost between RM650 million and RM1 billion, said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) yesterday, citing early estimates.
“Our initial estimates for a nationwide rollout will, conservatively, be anywhere between RM650 million and RM1 billion,” said its chairman Datuk Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi.
MCMC is planning for the infrastructure to be built and operated by an independent party.
Just last month, it shortlisted three companies – i-Media Broadcasting Solutions Sdn Bhd, Puncak Semangat Sdn Bhd and Redtone Network Sdn Bhd – out of eight that submitted bids for the DTTB infrastructure contract.
