Just a note that Foxtel continue to use Optus satelites to broadcast contents such as live sport, live 4k and 8k video on the horizon.

“Our collaboration provides resilience for existing services and an opportunity for future expansion as Australians continue to embrace 4K viewing and see 8K video on the horizon. This commitment provides Foxtel a proven and reliable platform for the delivery of high-quality video images watched on the large screens in homes and other venues over the next 11 years,” added Mr White.
“We are pleased to continue our multi-layered relationship with Foxtel into the next decade and to demonstrate that satellite remains one of the best ways for Foxtel to provide a rich viewing experience to their customers. Optus is proud of the role we play to connect millions of viewers with Foxtel’s essential content, and we look forward to continuing to grow our long-term relationship.”

Q6 Scrip dividend
At the upcoming AGM, we are proposing an amendment to our Constitution to allow for a scrip dividend scheme. If implemented, it would give shareholders the option to receive Singtel shares in lieu of cash dividends. 

Q13 5G 
In the short term, consumers will be able to benefit from new 5G handsets that deliver faster download speeds where 5G coverage is present. 5G, however, is not expected to be a key driver of returns in the immediate horizon. In the mid to longer term, we expect new revenue opportunities from potential consumer applications, such as cloud gaming, and enterprise applications that leverage distinctive 5G capabilities,
In Singapore, our 5G rollout will be progressive, covering half of Singapore by end-2022 and nationwide by end of 2025. 
We have not provided any capex guidance for FY 21.
We will be financially disciplined in our investments and will manage our 5G capex against other capital priorities, including re-prioritisation of 4G capex. 

Q14 India Telco
Significant judgement is required by management in assessing the likelihood of the outcome of each matter and whether the risk of loss is remote, possible or probable. 

Q16 Thailand
In February 2020, AIS reinforced its network leadership, capitalising on its unrivalled 5G spectrum holdings to become the first operator to roll out 5G services in Thailand.

Think: How and where SingTel got its $$$ to develop 5G?
