M1 to raise prices of 4G services

Retail users may also avail of these services come 2H12.

According to CIMB, M1 noted no competitive flare-ups in the mobile space. Instead, it has withdrawn unlimited data offering on 3G services to customers, hoping to better monetise data traffic.

Here's more from CIMB:

M1 plans to raise the prices of its LTE/4G services and introduce them to retail users in 2H when coverage is more widespread and more devices are available. It currently charges S$59.40/mth for unlimited data to corporate customers, which is more generous than its 3G/HSPA+ service costing S$59/mth with only 50GB of data.

SingTel, too, is looking to raise LTE data. It has bundled 10GB of LTE data with its Prestige 75 + Premium 21 plan which costs S$69.90. We understand that it plans to drop 3G data bundled with the Prestige 75 plan when its LTE coverage expands to a significant part of the island, i.e. users pay S$69.90 for only 10GB of 4G data vs. the generous 50GB data for 3G plans. Lastly, StarHub told the media that it may “review current (3G) pricing plans and consider introducing usage-based data pricing”.

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.
