Balancing Broadband for All Versus Being an Income Stock

Dato' Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa, Group CEO and MD of TM Bhd, talks about HSBB, whichis the growth part of the business, along with Internet services as regards takeup rate, installations, premises passed, meaningful contributions, capital expenditure and broadband penetration.

He also discusses whether TM might go into mobile one day, HSBB competition, entry price of 149rgt/mth and whether this is too high a barrier to entry from a cost perspective / mass takeup.

He also discusses his HyppTV and whether TM is now competing with Astro as well as YTL. He also has a view on the much-coveted 700MHZ spectrum.

He also deals with a series of consuemr issues such as broadband pricing bandwidth capping, bandwidth allocation, extension throttling, application of the Fair Use Policy, customer service and engagement.  

He ends by dealing with capital management issues and their commitment of paying at least 90 percent of of after tax profit or 700 million ringgit whichever is higher.
