A. Existing Situation The tables illustrate the rate of internet penetration and ICT usage in Malaysia. Table 14.31: Internet (Dial-Up) Customers in Malaysia, (1995-2001) 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 Customer (million) 0.014 0.064 0.205 0.405 0.668 1.659 2.115 2,614 Growth (%) - 357.7 220.3 97.6 64.9 148.4 27.5 23.6 Penetration 0.1 0.3 0.9 1.8 2.9 7.1 8.8 10.5 Sources: Suruhanjaya Komunikasi Dan Multimedia, 2001 Table 14.32: Selected Information ICT in Malaysia, (1995-2000) Legend 1995 2000 Telex customers 6,578 3,105 Personal computers 610,000 2,200,000 Personal computer for every 1,000 population 29.5 95.7 Telephone line for every 1,000 population 161.07 204.76 Example of Land fill sites in New Zealand which is also used partly as a Park Telephone customers 3,332,447 4,650,410 Mobile phone 700,000 2,265,000 Total internet customers 13,064 1,157,384 Total internet users 30,000 4,000,000 Sources: Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia, PIKOM, World Development Report, 1999/2000 and World Competitiveness Yearbook, 2000. Johor State has 78,000 Internet users in the year 2000, with a penetration rate of 3% (based on the total population size). This is very low compared to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, which have penetration rates of 10% and 8% respectively. 14 - 22

Existing ICT Infrastructure The quality of SJER’s ICT infrastructure is relatively poor in comparison with the existing infrastructure at the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC). Johor (in addition to Penang) is targeted to have a comparable quality of infrastructure by 2010 under the second phase of the MSC national roll out plan. This should help to drive adoption of high speed internet access, or broadband. C. Personal Computer Ownership The number of personal computers in SJER in 2003 stood at 305,227, which implies a penetration of 24.4% of the total population of SJER. This is expected to increase to 775,415 by the year 2025.
