Meanwhile, Masir Kujat said the unifi service offering in Sri Aman is timely considering the state of Sarawak is currently embarking on digital economy to further propel its economy growth.
“In order for digital economy to be implemented successfully, the telecommunication infrastructure to support high- speed internet connectivity needs to be made available with the latest fiber optic technology.
The network has to be extensive throughout the state not only covering the urban areas but also the sub-urban and rural areas. This is to ensure that the rural communities are not left behind in experiencing the high- speed internet hence reducing the digital gap with their urban counterparts.”
Besides the existing unifi LITE, ADVANCE and PRO plans with speeds of 100Mbps, TM is currently offering unifi edu and unifi ebiz packages specifically for students and e- entrepreneurs.
The unifi edu package offers broadband access that comes with unifi wifi at an attractive price to support the development of youth and IPT students with access, which they can utilise to
