What competition are they talking about?

What competition when the new broadband will also have a hand in it!
Money out here and back in the other pocket!


SINGTEL plans to offer new Internet services to make up for the impending onslaught of competition that it will face when a new broadband network is up and running.

The firm, which controls Singapore's most extensive phone and fibre network, has been generating solid returns over the past two decades, with profit margins for telco services at a healthy 43.3 per cent.

But that edge will end once the high-speed broadband network is up and running in 2012.

Access to the new network, which is being built by a consortium that includes SingTel and The Straits Times' publisher Singapore Press Holdings with hefty government subsidies, will be made available to all interested parties at the same price.

SingTel's chief executive for Singapore, Mr Allen Lew, told a results briefing yesterday that it is girding itself for the day when its 'ability to compete on infrastructure goes away'.

When that happens, margins from SingTel's network infrastructure business are expected to fall, and 'new market entrants who will now have easy access to network infrastructure' are likely to emerge to compete with it to boot, said Mr Lew.

when there is competition there usually be a price war that usually priced down. They will give lower prices and discounts to encourage customers to take up their offer. But what competition are they talking when you are competing yourself?
Uniquely Singapore Yeah Right! And all this are all from the same head!

Dumb minister running this country into the ground. Keep insisting on competition, remember the World Cup fiasco? In the end we pay exorbitant $$$ to watch.

Dysfuctional govt run by wet-behind-the -ears scholars who only know how to read textbooks.
