Malaysia's National Broadband Initiative is a government programme designed to make high-speed Internet accessible and affordable to the country's citizens, with a special emphasis on rural areas, children and the poor. The public-private partnership, announced by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak on March 24, 2010, combines the efforts of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and Telekom Malaysia.〔 (Malaysia on Track to Achieving 50 Pct Broadband Penetration by Year-End ), Bernama, 12 March 2010.〕 ==High-speed broadband== As of early 2010, Malaysia has 16.9 million Internet users, 30.4 million cell phone users and 7.4 million 3G subscribers.
