The 5G free access by CelcomDigi ended at the end of May 2023 but out of goodwill, the company decided to extend the 5G Booster until 30 June 2023. On top of that, the recently merged company is also launching more 5G Booster options for all Postpaid and Prepaid customers. 

If you are in Sabah, you're in for a treat from U Mobile. The orange telco just announced this year’s Kaamatan by offering plenty of freebies and gifts as part of its Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association (KDCA) campaign.

What is MWC Shanghai all about? It's a large conference for industry leaders to discuss cutting edge tech. Previously cancelled in 2022, the event is making a comeback this year and will run from 28 to 30 June 2023. But what does it have in store for us this year? Well, here are the top 3 topics you can expect from MWC Shanghai 2023.

5G coverage hasn't increased as fast as some have hoped, but there's definitely progress for Malaysia. As a reminder, the government plans to have DNB's 5G network reach 80% coverage of populated areas by the end of the year. Recently, a few notable updates have been reported.

In an ongoing expansion of the 5G network, CelcomDigi launches its new campaign, Jom 5G Bersama for more Malaysians to get connected to 5G. Starting today until 31 July 2023, the campaign offers an array of Postpaid and Prepaid value plans as well as device bundles with 5G phones for both Celcom and Digi users. 

A few hours ago, Dato’ Mohd Ali Hanafiah Mohd Yunus who is the Chief Operating Officer of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) was in an interview on Bernama TV. In the short clip, he mentioned that a new entity will eventually take over Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) after achieving 80% of the 5G population coverage.

Today, the Malaysian government announced that the 5G network in Malaysia will continue to be implemented through Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB). However, DNB was given a timeframe until the end of 2023, when it reaches 80% coverage in subsidised areas.

By now, you should know that Malaysia is using a single wholesale network for 5G connectivity. However, it seems that our Malaysian government is going to launch a second 5G network in 2024, according to sources who are familiar with the situation.

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) has revealed that our country is close to reaching its 5G network coverage for 2023. Its Minister, Fahmi Fadzil lauded the progress, saying that it was a positive development for the nation.

What can we do NOW with 5G? This is a question that many have been asking, especially when deciding to make the move to 5G or to stay with 4G. Well, the biggest advantage of mobile 5G networks is the incredibly fast Internet speed. Unfortunately, most people believe that there isn't enough content or services that actually need those 5G speeds.

But is that really true? A quick search online indicates the opposite as there are actually quite a few things that take advantage of those 5G speeds. In addition, it is also making it possible for us to do things that used to require powerful mobile devices or computers. Today, let's take a look at 3 things that we can do NOW with 5G.
