Malaysia to end 5G monopoly, allow second network from next year

Malaysia said on Wednesday it will adopt a dual network model for its 5G rollout next year following widespread concerns about pricing and competition over a single state-run network. The decision is the latest by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's six-month-old administration aimed at dismantling monopolies and promoting competition, though it could create tension with Western countries that wanted Malaysia to stick with its original plan.
