M1, Starhub join forces to combat new telco threat

They are exploring mobile infrastructure sharing.

Two heads are better than one, and incumbent telcos M1 and StarHub have just inked a Memorandum of Understanding to study increased collaboration in mobile infrastructure sharing.

Pooling of network resources will allow M1 and StarHub to roll out more cost effective next-generation networks, as wel as improve network coverage and capacity for the benefit of customers. Network traffic will continue to be managed independently by the companies.

The MOU was signed by Chief Executive Officer of M1, Karen Kooi and Chief Executive Officer of StarHub, Tan Tong Hai.

“When realised, this could lower our operational and capital expenditures for both M1 and StarHub, so that we can run our existing mobile services efficiently, and still be able to invest in future technologies to keep Singapore at the forefront of the infocomm industry,” Kooi said.

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.
