Furthermore, the 247 is part of the 600 telecommunications towers planned to be built in Sarawak through several phases of allocations by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and telco companies.

Pada 21 Mei tahun lalu, saya melawat menara telekomunikasi SMART600 di kawasan Kampung Trombol, kira-kira 45 minit dari bandar Kuching.

Saya dimaklumkan ketika itu hanya terdapat 50 menara SMART yang baru diaktifkan, termasuk menara di Kampung Trombol.
