"With the availability of low-cost broadband by TM, I am confident that ICT can be spread and absorbed by each and every Kuala Lumpur citizen," TM Group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa told pressmen in Kuala Lumpur last Saturday.
The event in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, marked the Klang Valley launch of TM's Komputer 1Malaysia netbook and Streamyx broadband from just RM38 per month for 24 months.
The new and affordable broadband and netbook package is aimed at increasing the personal computer and broadband penetration rates. Malaysia wants half of its households to have broadband services by the end of this hear.
So far, TM has 1.75 million Streamyx customers.
"With the affordable PC bundle, TM has made broadband an affordable option that can now be available in more Malaysian households," he said.
The programme, he hopes, will help everyone gain access to the Internet with better content, application and speed.
"With the increase in the scale of Internet usage it would help in reducing cost and increase the spread which would in turn help us gain more customers," he said.
Apart from this package, TM has also dedicated itself to setting up ICT infrastructure to fulfil the needs of residents and businesses in Kuala Lumpur.
TM has 17 exchanges around Kuala Lumpur that supplies fixed line services to more than 240,00 subscribers.
To be eligible for the broadband with netbook package, the potential subscriber must be from a household with a monthly income of RM3,000 and below for rural residents throughout the country, or a monthly income of RM5,000 and below for those living in urban areas.
