PAKAN: Malaysia Communications and MultiMedia Commission (MCMC) will build 114 communication towers statewide this year, said Deputy Minister of Information, Communications and Culture Datuk Joseph Salang yesterday.
This would include 10 towers within the Julau parliamentary constituency, he added.
Speaking before the presentation of 200 1Malaysia netbooks to community leaders of the Pakan District at Rh.
Akun Engkarong in Supi Atas here, he said the towers would be 3G enabled.
The 10 towers allocated for his Julau constituency would allow about half of its inhabitants to enjoy cellular and internet coverage soon, he explained.
He also said the government would consider creating more WiFi villages and upgrading current broadband services in the constituency.
On another note, Salang said it was sad that some quarters still questioned the government’s decision to distribute netbooks to rural areas with no internet connectivity or power supply.
“If we wait until such places are connected, it will defeat the government’s continuous effort to narrow the digital divide.
“The rural folks can still use their netbooks for other purposes like records and account keeping or they can access the internet when they visit nearby towns or community broadband centres,” he said.
He also reminded the longhouse chiefs that the netbooks were not for their exclusive use, saying they were merely guardians of what belonged to the entire longhouse. — Bernama
