DiGi gets go ahead for transfer of TDC’s 3G spectrum

DiGi gets go ahead for transfer of TDC’s 3G spectrum

KUALA LUMPUR: DiGi.Com Bhd (DiGi) has received Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) approval for the proposed transfer of Time dotCom Bhd's (TDC) 3G spectrum to DiGi.

The company told Bursa Malaysia yesterday the approval was subject to payment by TDC's wholly owned subsidiary, TT dotCom Sdn Bhd, for the penalty imposed due to non-compliance of its detailed business plan.

It was also subject to MCMC's acceptance of DiGi's RM50mil irrevocable bank guarantee for the balance duration of the spectrum assignment period, it added.

In a statement yesterday, chief executive officer Morten Lundal said: “We welcome the approval and look forward to proceeding with our business plan for mobile broadband once all other approvals are obtained.”

In a separate filing with Bursa yesterday, DiGi said it had received an extension of time to June 30 from the Energy, Water and Communications Ministry to comply with the equity conditions of its licences.

It said the extension also applied to the deadline for Telenor Asia Pte Ltd to reduce its equity interest in DiGi to 49%.

DiGi To Launch 3G By End Of The Year

KUALA LUMPUR, March 12 (Bernama) -- DiGi.Com Bhd is on track and waiting for the necessary approvals to launch its third-generation (3G) services by year-end, said chief executive officer Morten Lundal.

"Yes, we are on track. Two things we have to do. We have to get approvals, final approval and then we will launch the 3G services," he told reporters after the company's extraordinary general meeting here today.

The meeting focused on the 3G spectrum transfer to DiGi.

It was reported late January that the government has approved the transfer of Time dotCom Bhd's 3G licence to DiGi.

Lundal said the company received a lot of support with regard to the 3G spectrum and hoped to get the final approval from the Securities Commission.

He also dismissed shareholders' concern that the spectrum would bring a low value to the company, saying that DiGi was better off with 3G.

Lundal was also confident it would be able to fulfil conditions set by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) easily.

Meanwhile, Lundal would be leaving DiGi on March 31 and would be replaced by Johan Dennelind, the current chief financial officer.

Meanwhile, in a filing to Bursa Malaysia, Time DotCom and DiGi said they were seeking clarification on certain conditions imposed by MCMC namely, on the penalty imposed as a result of non-compliance with the detailed business plan, the effective date and procedures for the transfer of the spectrum.

These include the release of bank guarantee previously furnished by TT dotCom Sdn Bhd and obligation by TT dotCom upon the transfer of the spectrum to DiGi Telecom.

Both parties have agreed to, an extension of time of up to Apr 11, 2008 for acceptance of the said conditions imposed by MCMC.

Digi get 3G

Previously I commented that No 3G for Digi at the moment
and now, because of Digi tie-up with Timo dotCom Bhd and now 3G is possible. Stay tune for the Digi 3G update maybe next year.

Tie-Up between DiGi.Com Bhd and Time dotCom Bhd (TDC) will see telco gaining access to 3G spectrum



The assignment or transfer of the Spectrum to DiGi Telecom would allow the DiGi Group to provide basic and exciting new innovative products and services in the most effective and efficient manner by using third generation of mobile phone standards and technology (“3G technologies”). The 3G technologies would allow DiGi to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity.

Further, in line with DiGi’s strategy and focus in providing high value added and innovative low cost services, the Parties are expected to benefit from the Proposed Joint Business Planning which will leverage on their respective networks hence providing the Parties with the ability to optimise their strategy in their respective broadband mobile businesses.

1. Digi acquiring Time's 3G license and Time will give up 100% of its right until year 2018.
2. Digi and Time dotCom will work together to further discuss:-
- role out of wimax, and Digi may allow Time to use their towers for wimax.
- Digi might become a service provider for WiMax and Time the infrastructure provider (or other way round).

So there will be good news for all the Digi user like me myself =)
Much awaited 3G soon available to Digi users.
