Singapore's mobile subscriber growth slows down to just 4%

Even broadband subscriptions dropped.

According to Ministry of Trade and Industry's Economic Survey of Singapore 2012, growth in the number of broadband subscribers moderated from 17 per cent in 2011 to 10 per cent in 2012. With the increase in the number of subscribers, the broadband subscription rate rose to 1.92 per capita in 2012.

Similarly, the number of mobile subscribers grew by a slower 4.0 per cent in 2012 compared to the 6.4 per cent increase in 2011.

As a result of the increase in subscribers, the mobile subscription rate reached 1.52 per capita in 2012, slightly higher than the 1.50 per capita in 2011.

International telephone call duration saw an increase of 8.5 per cent in 2012, a reversal from the 0.7 per cent decline recorded in the previous year.

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.
