TM & Axiata collaborate on fixed and mobile convergence solutions

• TM signed a MoU with Celcom Axiata for collaboration in providing complete fixed and mobile solutions to Malaysian consumers. The MoU collaborate on a range of services including:

1. HSBB Access, HSBB Transmission and Internet Connectivity Services for Celcom subscribers;
2. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services for Celcom subscribers;
3. Fiber Network System via Wholesale Long Term Lease for Celcom’s network; and
4. Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) services for TM.

• The MOU will be valid for a year, but Axiata and TM will endeavour for definitive agreements within 2 months.
• Positive that the partnership between Axiata and TM would benefit both companies and result in significant cost savings for both parties as Celcom would be able to address its mobile backhaul requirements and offer fixed-services to the Household via HSBB Access while TM would benefit from additional wholesale and HSBB Access revenues while being able to offer mobile services (as an MVNO). This would lead to a converged mobile and fixed services offering for both parties.
