Malaysia is expected to reach its target of 50 percent broadband penetration by the end of the year, says Information Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim.

Broadband currently reaches 32.4 percent of the population. “It is believed that every increase of 100,000 users of laptop computers equipped with broadband facilities will increase the broadband penetration rate by one percent,” he said at the launch of Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference Operational Technologies in Kuala Lumpur.
