M1 anchors growth on fixed services

Sales from this segment rose by 22%.

M1 is depending on its fixed services segment for strength as its mobile arm continues to be badgered by over-the-top services.

According to RHB, there was a 22% yearly increase in fixed services sales, driven by the telco's ventures.

"M1 continues to enjoy good billing momentum from multi-year enterprise and public sector jobs, including smart nation projects," RHB noted

Looking forward, the brokerage firm said the telco is expecting good opportunities in the longer term from new digital and cloud based solutions and the launch of the nationwide narrowband Internet of Things (IoT) network, which would spawn innovative IoT applications.

To recall, the telco's core earning for the past quarter fell 21% due to higher finance charges and handset costs.

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.
