The Multimedia Super Corridor Malaysia initiative, a forerunner in the country's progress towards developed status, would be extended nationwide.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said this would be done in stages, with more areas to be accorded MSC cybercity and cybercentre status upon meeting the necessary conditions.
This had been decided, Abdullah said, on the basis of the success of the MSC programme, now into its 11th year of rapid progress in achieving its targets.
