Find out M1's biggest advantage over StarHub, SingTel

Its LTE services cover 95% of Singapore.

According to CIMB, it believes that M1’s nationwide coverage for its LTE services, which is defined as at least 95% of island-coverage will give it a competitive edge over its peers, SingTel and StarHub. 

Here's more:

SingTel's network LTE made up 90% of the island-coverage in end-12. StarHub has said that its LTE coverage is currently over 60% and expects it to reach nationwide by mid-2013. Meanwhile, SingTel said that its LTE coverage was 90% as at Dec-2012 and expects it to reach 95% or nationwide coverage by Mar 2013.

4G is better than 3G for both consumers and operators. We expect the migration to 4G to benefit both consumers and operators. From a consumer’s point of view, 4G offers speeds 3-4 times that of 3G.

For operators, 1) 4G’s network equipment is able to take on more data traffic when compared to 3G due to technological advancement, and 2) we gather that capex for 4G network equipment is lower than 3G’s.

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.
