Wireless communications subscription in Malaysia is expected to surpass that of fixed lines by year-end, and the number of mobile Internet users will exceed fixed Internet users by 2002. The findings, from a recent survey conducted by Siemens Business Services, also stated that by the year 2003, there will be more than eight or nine million wireless subscribers in Malaysia, which translates to approximately 40 percent market penetration for wireless application. Siemens Business Services' senior vice president and country manager Ling Chee Hoe said this serves to indicate that wireless communication will become more popular in Malaysia, which in turn will drive the growth of the mobile business solutions marketplace. Essentially, the next-generation Internet will be used as a basis for mobile business in which the Internet is expected to be as reliable, faster and offers mobility, said Ling. Siemens Business currently has customers from industries like telecommunications, financial services and utilities for the e-business solutions and is actively involved in discussions with potential clients for other mobile business solutions.
