Netbook package by TM for students

As announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in the 2010 Budget last October, Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) will offer a netbook package, including free broadband service, to 100,000 university students with a monthly installment of RM50 for two years. Priority will be given to first-year students and those from low-income families. The details of the programme will be announced soon by TM.

Apart from contributing towards increasing the broadband penetration rate and using the Information Communication Technology (ICT) to create a knowledge-based society, the package would also support the government’s efforts to strengthen human capital development.
