KINABATANGAN, July 11-- The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) has allocated RM450 million to upgrade broadband and communication infrastructure in Sabah.
Acting chairman Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi said the allocation was being used on the Provision of Service and TIME 2 projects which involve the development of communication infrastructure.
He said SKMM plans to set up broadband internet community centres in every Sabah district with focus on rural areas.
"Six such centres have been created, four in Kinabatangan and one each in Nabawan and Pitas. They provide broadband service complete with information technology equipments.
"The local people can use the high speed internet to do online banking," he told reporters after visiting the centre at Kampung Sukau here today.
Sharil said other projects to be implemented in Sabah include communication towers to expand cellular coverage and wireless broadband.
