SINGAPORE: Fibre optic cables for Singapore's new, ultra high-speed broadband network will be installed into homes and offices from September.

The company contracted to do the installation, OpenNet, will start sending out letters to homeowners from July.

Residents have three weeks to respond and installation is free.

Those who want it installed at a later date will have to pay S$220 for apartments and S$450 for landed properties.

OpenNet will start installation in four clusters - Macpherson/Braddell, Jurong, Middle Road, and Geylang/Eunos.

It expects work to be completed in 56,000 homes and 1,000 office buildings within the first month, and 60 per cent of all homes and offices by 2010, and 95 per cent by 2012.

You can log on to www.opennet.com.sg to check when OpenNet is installing the cables in your home or office.

OpenNet says it expects to invest over S$100 million in total to complete the project, on top of the S$750 million funding from the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA).

That is why i have said before, avoid using sinktel if you can, any god damn thing that is PAPee controlled it is of no surprise to me to find them playing dirty. Have u all forgotten about the hacking case by singnet some months ago? So even if they're gonna point a knife at starhub or pacific net, i still have my external softwares to protect my OS without having to pay for it.

OpenNet, which comprises Canada-based Axia and three local companies, SingTel, Singapore Press Holdings and SP Telecommunications, was in competition for the government contract with Infinity consortium.

3 "local companies" + 1 canada-based Axia invest only $100m while $750m funded by IDA? IDA's money comes from who?

This is really a good deal. I wish my businesses can be funded by the same ratio. Too bad my surname not Lee.
