Previously, we reported that Celcom, Digi, Maxis and U Mobile have accepted the offer to take an equity stake in Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB). If you were wondering if there's any update, the latest news that we got is that these MNOs have yet to agree on key terms in the Reference Access Offer (RAO) that was recently published by DNB.

At the moment, the MNOs remain in discussions with MCMC to seek more clarity on some of the details in the published RAO. It is reported that there is a majority of concerns and issues previously raised and discussed with MCMC and DNB have not yet been addressed in the current document. This includes key principles proposed for the RAO to be consistent with industry best practices.

With this, the MNOs said that the RAO in its current published form will not enable affordable and quality 5G services for the Malaysians. However, the MNOs remain committed to continued discussions with MCMC and the industry on the RAO.

We recently had a hands-on experience with 5G connectivity performance in Putrajaya with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. So if you missed that, do yourself a favour to check out the current condition at the hyperlink given. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
