The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission published the Framework for
Industry Development (FID) at the end of 2001 to provide a five-year rolling plan
for the development of the communications and multimedia sector in Malaysia.
It was intended that the FID would be a living document, up-dated according to the
needs of consumers, the industry and the nation. This document records the first
update and review of the FID.
When the FID, which covered the 2001- 2005, was drawn up, five major challenges were
identified and articulated, which would have to be faced by the communications and
multimedia industry, to achieve the National Policy Objectives set out in the Communications
and Multimedia Act (1998). These five challenges are:
| a) | Upgrading Network Capabilities | |
| b) | Improving Service Quality and Choice of Service | |
| c) | Building Capacity | |
| d) | Managing Resources Efficiently | |
| e) | Regulating Efficiently |
Specific strategies for meeting these challenges were then identified. Targets were then set to implement these strategies. These targets formed the basis for the benchmarks set out in the FID 2001- 2005. It was originally planned that the FID would be reviewed regularly.
On 1 November 2002, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission took over as regulator for the Postal Industry in Malaysia. It was also made Controller of Certifying Authorities under the Digital Signature Act 1997.
The first review of the FID took place in June 2002. During the review, which involved consultation with the Minister and the industry, it was decided that a key priority would be to focus on the development of Malaysia as a global hub for the communications and multimedia services. Although the five major challenges remain the same as those set out in the FID 2001-2005, new strategies have been identified which take into account the evolution of services and technology in the communications and multimedia industry.
The FID 2002- 2006 sets out these strategies in detail as well as identifying the benchmarks for achieving them. It is intended that this document will serve as a guide to facilitate strategic planning and investment in the communications and multimedia industry in Malaysia.
