This will enable Astro to strengthen its video streaming efficiency to its current service offerings.Ĭommenting on the collaboration, Imri said: “TM as the leading infrastructure partner for High Speed Broadband wholesale services, leveraged its superior network nationwide to support the industry’s broadband growth.
