Bhd has formalised three major partnerships to advance the world’s
biggest BPL project announced earlier this month. The project intends
offering 60 million people unlimited high speed Internet connection of
224Mbps (megabits per second) at a cost of only around RM5 (US$1.58) per

the world.
BPL modems use existing electrical power lines to deliver high speed Internet access and data transmission.
