Singapore telcos' data monetisation seen to speed up this year

Users to upgrade to higher data cap plans.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, data monetisation will speed up in 2014. 4G adoption will occur faster than 3G as new future handsets will all be 4G devices.

Here's more:

We also expect more users to upgrade to higher data cap plans. By 3Q13, over 30% of postpaid users have switched to 4G data-tiered plans.

This is the biggest trend to watch in 2014. We believe 50% of postpaid users will be on a tiered 4G plan by end-2014, and 70-80% by end-2015. M1, our top BUY, stands to gain the most as mobile accounts for 80% of its service revenue. StarHub, which has 53% of revenue coming from mobile, is next in line.

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.
