QUETTA, Pakistan - Telekom Malaysia announced this week that the company is set to complete its US$100 million countrywide fiber-optic-backbone project in Pakistan - the largest fiber-optic network in the country - by October.
In February 2005, Telekom Malaysia announced a joint-venture fiber-optic-backbone project with Multinet, a licensed provider of electronic information and data-network operation services in Pakistan. Its activities include local loop and other value-added services, such as broadband, wireless broadband and allied services. The deal was concluded in April 2005. Through its international arm, TM International, it has telecom investments in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Cambodia, with evolving plans to expand into other parts of Asia.
