Singtels losses because of iPhone?

They only may profits by taxing Singaporeans for phone use. This is always offset by bad decisions for investments and product development. They can say simi lanjiao also ok. Does not matter. They are SOEs.

That is only an excuse. I'm sure they will never reveal the whole story about how they wasted their profits in other investments.

Do you believe? :eek:

I know all Apple products have a premium but even the amount Singtel is asking is ridiculous. Plus, Singtel didn't realise that the Apps store, and the iTunes music/video store are so important.

I mean, shouldn't they have asked Apple, as part of the deal, to open a local iTunes store, under the iTunes software weblink at sg.apple.com/iTunes store ?

Without the Apple iTunes store for Singapore, and with that the availability of the apps store, the iPhone would be a poor rival for Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericisson, Blackberry and LG smartphones that are available in Singapore.

I mean, when most Americans bought it, the Apps store was one of the top reasons, besides push email. Because the 3rd party software on the Apps store equalises everything and makes the iPhone competitive.

maybe its another excuse for them to raise rates again.

Starhubs been moving their channels around requiring a digital decoder. Must switch the old analog for a digital one. If you have a second decoder, you have to pay more. Expect more "upgrades", at a cost of course :rolleyes:

they should implement broadband schemes with caps on the limit of download, and then charge $/mb downloads. that way, singtel can make hundreds of dollar from each individual broadband subscriber.
