Not sure how does this rule discourages Singtel from signing another exclusive content if Singtel is still the sole manager for the content (pricing and subscription), whilst Starhub is just providing the infrastructure for the content delivery (at 0 cost?).

Quote:4. Will the subscription to BPL be charged under my StarHub TV monthly bill?
The packaging and its subscription charge for BPL content is determined by SingTel, and all subscription charges in relation to the BPL Pack will be billed directly by SingTel.
Quote:5. What is cross carriage?
MDA’s cross carriage announcement is a new ruling that discourages any pay TV operator from signing exclusive content that disadvantages the other operator. Any exclusive content signed from 12 March 2010 will be subjected to cross carriage and the same content is obliged to be made available for subscription on the other operator’s platform.
