Kuala Lumpur – Malaysia’s Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (Mosti) has formed a task force to look into pressing ICT issues such as the slow national rollout of broadband, according to reports from The Star Online. Known officially as The Task Force on the ICT industry, it comprises representatives from Pikom, the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), the International Trade and Industry Ministry, the Information, Communications, Culture and Arts Ministry, applied research body Mimos, CyberSecurity Malaysia, and several others. The Task Force will identify problems, formulate solutions and present these to Mosti, which will then decide whether or not to implement the suggestions. According to the National Broadband Plan, 50 percent of the population must have access to superfast Internet connections by next year but penetration is lingering at the 26 percent mark now.
