Moving people to tier-data plan will continue to increase their revenue. Good for the company it bad for consumers. I wonder do they need get IDA approval for doing so? All the 3 telcos are reducing data for their plans as usage keep climbing. And over-usage chages are very high.

Increasing reliance on 3G and 4G data. Higher QoS requires higher maintenance fees. No reason not to milk for profits?
All the CAPEX invested in SMSC etc. already, might as well boost usage back to utilize those committed infra better.

Starting new idea seems not the forte of SingTel. May be SingTel should focus on acquiring established idea e.g. TheMobileGamer, Amobee or HungryGoWhere.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Seven Singapore telecom firms, including M1 Ltd and StarHub Ltd, on Wednesday asked the government to reject Singapore Telecommunication Ltd's proposed acquisition of the firm developing the city-state's next generation broadband network.
NetLink Trust, a trust controlled by SingTel, has proposed acquiring OpenNet, the consortium developing the broadband network, for S$126 million ($100.47 million) in a deal that requires regulatory approval from the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore. "If approved, the proposed consolidation would see SingTel becoming the 100 percent beneficial owner of the only other nationwide fixed telecommunications network in Singapore, apart from SingTel's own network," the seven companies said in a joint statement. "The unprecedented show of solidarity demonstrates the grave concerns the industry has over the competition issues raised by the proposed consolidation, including the potential of discriminatory treatment and a lack of independence," they added. |
