This chart shows the drastic fall in StarHub's payTV subscribers

It lost 11,000 subscribers in Q1.

If there's one proof that can show how drastic the fall in StarHub's payTV subscriber is, it would be this chart from OCBC Investment Research.

According to the brokerage firm, StarHub's outlook remains weak as the pressure from over-the-top (OTT) services and piracy on Pay TV are expected to persist.

For the past quarter, StarHub lost 11,000 payTV subscribers, bringing down the total subscriber count to only about 485,000.

However, average revenue per user remained static at around $51.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
