Singtel's postpaid revenue slips 4.3% to $67 per user

As it added 42,000 in their postpaid subscriber base.

For RHB, Singtel's Singapore business is chugging along as its Australian business is feeling more heat.

Whilst Singtel added the highest number of postpaid subscribers in the industry at 42,000 in 1Q17, postpaid average revenue per user (APRU) slipped 4.3% YoY to $67 as the strong growth in mobile data was not sufficient to offset pressures on roaming and usage revenue.

The higher takeup of SIM-only plans also contributed to a further dilution in ARPU. Consequently, mobile service revenue fell 2% YoY. 63% of its postpaid base are on tiered data plans with 40% of this exceeding their bundled data.

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.
