It's Turbo 3G services already covers 68% of the population of Ipoh, the Perak state capital and 45% of Kuching, the Sarawak state capital and it expected to extend this to 98% and 55% respectively of the populations of both cities by March 2010. Plans are also underway to widen DiGi's Turbo 3G coverage to include towns such as Taiping, Kamunting and Kampar in Perak, and Miri in Sarawak by the second half of this year. “We are serious about our ambition to bring internet access to the people. As such, we have accelerated our rollout to make our mobile internet services available in five states within the short span of a year,” said Johan Dennelind, DiGi chief executive officer. “We already have 29% population coverage in Malaysia to date and now plan to make our mobile internet services available in more than three new market centers this year, with Johor Bahru as the next launch location,” he added. Besides those two states, DiGi already covers almost 100% of the population of Kota Kinabalu and 70% of both the Klang Valley and Penang. “While we grow our Turbo 3G™ presence in more locations, we remain focused on delivering quality and best value services,” said Dennelind. “Customers today demand better internet speeds for less, a proposition which has become synonymous with DiGi’s mobile internet services, enabling customers to surf at ease and with peace of mind knowing they won’t be overcharged. This has contributed to the steady increase of our subscriber base,” he added. Altogether, DiGi currently has over than 500,000 cumulative 3G mobile internet customers, of which about 10% are mobile broadband customers. DiGi’s mobile internet service lets PC and laptop users enjoy anytime, anywhere wireless connectivity with consistent and reliable speed for as low as RM58 per month and they can also enjoy Turbo 3G for their mobile phones, smart phones and Blackberry for as low as RM58 per month on DiGi Postpaid or RM5 a day on DiGi Prepaid.
