KUALA LUMPUR (April 22): Maxis Bhd's chief said the bulk of the group's RM1.3 billion capital expenditure (capex) this year would be invested in its fourth generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network.

Maxis chief executive officer Morten Lundal said the mobile telecommunication network provider was focusing on price competitiveness and customer experience.

"The most important thing for us is not just to have the most competitive prices, but customer experience as well. That is priority," Lundal told reporters at the MaxisONE plan launch here today.

Under MaxisONE, Maxis is offering up to 13GB extra mobile Internet quota monthly to its MaxisONE customers. The extra quota applies to new and existing users.

Lundal said even with this upgrade, customers could rest assured that Maxis' network quality would remain intact.

"This is the largest auto-upgrade we've ever done at Maxis and the largest ever in Malaysia. Our customers don't have to do anything, except continue to feel free and enjoy all their streaming, downloading, surfing and social media with even more data on the best network in the country.

"Unlike our competitors, we are not just giving great short-term offers or more data to only new customers. We are automatically and permanently upgrading for free (to) all our MaxisONE plan customers, in which we are proud to have passed one million this week," he said.

Today, Maxis shares closed two sen or 0.34% lower at RM5.93 for a market capitalisation of RM44.16 billion.
