Another 30 1Malaysia Wireless Villages Coming Up In Johor
08 Oct 2014, bernama
JOHOR BAHARU, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is expanding its 1Malaysia Wireless Village (KTW1M) to another 30 locations in the state to enable more rural residents enjoy free internet access.
MCMC southern region head Roszeta Kassim said the additional locations were based on high demand by consumers for broadband facility.
"To date, there are 757 KTW1M locations as well as 76 1Malaysia internet centres (PI1M) in Johor and Melaka," she told reporters after the 2014 Creative Youth League contest prize presentation here today.
Also present was MCMC Broadband Management division chief Nor Akmar Shah Minan.
Roszeta said apart from rural areas, MCMC was also identifying other areas which needed broadband facility.
Meanwhile she said MCMC also financed 76 PI1Ms in Johor and Melaka via the Universal Service Provision Fund (USP).
According to her, the fund was also used to implement the 1Malaysia Netbook programme, involving one million laptops.
"The primary target of the programme are secondary school students from families with less than RM3,000 household incomes," she said, adding that from 2010 to last year, 148,000 netbooks were distributed to students and communities in the southern region.
With the effort, MCMC hoped more people would be able to actively explore information communication technology (ICT), she said.
Themed 'Broadband for Education,' it is being held for the fourth time and involved 4,074 participants nationwide.
