Effort will Connect the Best Minds in Silicon Valley with Developers in Malaysia to
Create Exciting New Applications for YTL’s Nationwide 4G Service while
Establishing the Country as a Regional Centre of Excellence for 4G Innovation

USD 1 Million mY Prize will Reward Best Innovators in 2010

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, November 10, 2009 — YTL Communications Sdn Bhd today announced the formation of a 4G Innovation Network in Malaysia in cooperation with some of the preeminent players in technology, including: Cisco, Clearwire, GCT Semiconductor, Inc. and SAMSUNG. High-ranking executives from each participating company marked the official start of the initiative during a ceremony at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur witnessed by the Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia Y.A.B Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak.

To inspire the developers who take part in the 4G Innovation Network to create exciting new products and services that address consumers’ needs, YTL Communications will sponsor a global competition-the mY Prize-in 2010. A total of USD 1 million will be awarded to help entrepreneurs and innovators realize their best ideas and then offer them to consumers on a nationwide level. More details will be announced by January.  Developers are invited to visit the Company’s web site to request more information at: www.ytlcomms.my.

“YTL Communications is proud to take a leadership role amidst this prestigious group and equally as proud of Malaysia for having what it takes to attract interest and commitment from top players in technology,” said YTL Group Managing Director Tan Sri Dato’ (Dr) Francis Yeoh Sock Ping, CBE, FICE.  ”Together, we will help to advance the country’s mission to become a truly innovation-led economy as well as YTL’s mission to provide affordable, world-class quality products and services that impove the way people in Malaysia learn, work and play.”

YTL Communications Chief Executive Officer Wing K. Lee added, “The Innovation Network will facilitate the development of applications and devices that will take advantage of 4G mobile Internet and which will give people in Malaysia a truly connected lifestyle and new levels of communication freedom.”

The 4G Innovation Network is being established to facilitate the deployment of YTL’s nationwide 4G service in Malaysia that will offer a high-fidelity Internet experience to people across the country by the end of 2010. To achieve this, YTL’s 4G Innovation Network in Malaysia will be linked with Clear’s Innovation Network in Silicon Valley to facilitate a free flow of ideas and information across borders.  Importantly, developers worldwide will have the chance to commercialize their work on a national scale in Malaysia.

“YTL’s 4G Innovation Network in Malaysia will expand the 4G ecosystem by linking Malaysian and other Asian developers directly with some of the world’s most creative minds in Silicon Valley, in order to share ideas while testing services designed to enhance the 4G mobile Internet experience,” said Ali Tabassi, senior vice president, global ecosystem and standards for Clearwire.  ”Fostering development of the first generation of true mobile broadband services helps to fulfill our goals of changing the way people access the Internet and providing new opportunities for mobile applications.”

“This network is truly transformational — one of the first in the world to offer converged services over a wireless network. We expect that it will help drive competitiveness for Malaysia; as we have consistently seen that those countries that
use technology strategically are the countries that lead economically, socially and environmentally,” said Mr. Wim Elfrink, Chief Globalisation Officer and Executive Vice President, Cisco Services.  ”Cisco’s leadership in this effort highlights our continued commitment to innovate and provide new business models to cater to the diverse needs of our customers worldwide.”

“We expect that the 4G Innovation Network in Malaysia will take a leading role in developing and expanding WiMAX all over the Asia-Pacific region.” said Woonsub Kim, executive vice president and head of the Telecommunication Systems Division, Samsung Electronics.  ”By bringing the technical know-how it has accumulated through numerous commercial WiMAX businesses, Samsung will contribute to the successful establishment of the Malaysian 4G Innovation Network.”
