The document summarizes Malaysia's ICT environment and initiatives to promote broadband access and internet usage. It notes that in 2010 Malaysia launched its High Speed Broadband project to expand broadband infrastructure like WiMAX and LTE networks. However, internet access remains relatively expensive for Malaysians compared to other countries. The government has implemented several programs through the Multimedia Super Corridor to boost the ICT sector, improve infrastructure, and increase broadband penetration to over 60% of households by 2012. The National Key Economic Areas plan aims to further develop Malaysia's digital economy and ICT capabilities by 2020.
