CYBERJAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission chairman Al-Ishsal Ishak hopes that state government bodies can look into easing some regulatory measures to help push forward the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP).

A telecommunication company, for instance, is required to submit up to 15 to 20 forms for the approval to set up a tower in some states, he said.
