Population Penetration rate figures from
June 99
onwards have been re-computed, taking into account the revised population figures recently released by the Department of Statistics. Population Penetration Rate = [Total number of subscriptions/Total Population].
All subscriber figures rounded to the nearest hundred.
All penetration figures rounded to the nearest decimal point.
1
The pre-paid SIM card subscriber base figures are included in the total number of mobile phone subscribers as well as in the total number of GSM900 and GSM1800 subscriber bases.
2
Paging figures from Jan 99 onwards have been re-computed based on updated data information.
3
As at Jan 99, previously reported figures on the number of IDD calls made will now be replaced with total number of International Telephone services minutes (which excludes calls to Malaysia) instead.
4
Mobile data services refer to services provided by licensees that offer Public Mobile Data Services (PMDS) under their Facilities-Based Operator (FBO) licence. Subscribers to such PMDS services include fleet management companies, dispatch service agencies etc.
