Summary

This IDC study presents the development of metro Ethernet technology in Malaysia since the establishment of the first metro Ethernet infrastructure in 2006 and its future outlook in 2009.

"Metro Ethernet technology plays an integral role in the telecommunications industry now. The flexibility of the technology can be positioned as an Internet access or a point-to-point connectivity at a cheaper cost. However, the availability of this service continues to be an issue for most service providers (SPs) as the significant cost of building a metro Ethernet ring is an inhibitor for SPs to offer this service nationwide," says Esther Gan, market analyst, Telecommunication Research, IDC Malaysia.
