Malaysia takes steps to open its telecom sector

Article Abstract:

The government of Malaysia has taken steps to attract foreign investments in its telecommunication industries. Telecom investments that often require a long lead time to sign enough subscribers on the network could have a five-year cap as a safety measure, according to Michael Mahoney, a portfolio manager of AIM Global Telecommunications Fund in San Francisco, CA. The cap will also allow the government to impose limits in the deal's price structure, he said. Meanwhile, other governments such as China have protected their local markets through restriction of assets ownership and approval of revenue-sharing agreements without fixed time limit.

Article Abstract:

Container shortage in Asia is gradually easing, says ICS Trust (Asia) Ltd Director Kishore Sakhrani. He adds that the strong Christmas demand prompted Asian exporters to be more resourceful. According to Sakhrani, the pressure has somehow eased but it will take some time before trade imbalances and resulting container shortages in certain regions will be resolved.
