The Mobile Market in Malaysia Has Jumped from 3 Million Subscribers in 1999 to Reach 21 Million Early in 2007 DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c75660) has announced the addition of "Malaysia - Key Statistics, Telecommunications Overview and Major Players 2007" to their offering. Many of the players in Malaysia's telecommunications sector were seriously affected by the economic crisis of the late 1990s. Despite this, there has been strong growth in the sector over the last decade. Fixed-line services jumped from around 2 million in 1990 to about 4.7 million (penetration of 20%) in 2002, but there has been virtually no growth since. The mobile market has been more spectacular, jumping from 3 million subscribers in 1999 to reach 21 million early in 2007 and having grown at a continuously strong rate until 2006 when the expansion slowed. This report looks at that growth. It also presents a view of the industry players and, in so doing, notes that the market has no doubt moved into a consolidation phase.
