StarHub supports Government's efforts to ensure fair content costs

StarHub also supports the idea of having a common set-top box for consumers, as it gives greater convenience, cost-savings and quality assurance.

In a statement StarHub said, "In regard to the new content exclusivity regime proposed by MDA, we note that it appears to be similar to StarHub’s proposal of November 2009 when we first suggested the idea of carrying future Barclay Premier League broadcast carriages over our cable TV network. As such, StarHub fully supports the Government’s efforts to ensure fair and reasonable content costs, as this will ultimately benefit StarHub and our customers."

The new regime, however, will have little impact on StarHub in the foreseeable future as the proposed regime will not be applied retrospectively to its existing agreements with their channel partners.

StarHub added it will be making its comments on MDA’s consultation paper in due course.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
