SingTel's SingNet slapped with S$80,000 penalty

This is for the MioTV disruptions in October and November 2011.

In an announcement, the Media Development Authority (MDA) has fined SingNet S$80,000 for Mio TV disruptions which occurred in October and November 2011.

The 28 and 29 October 2011 disruption affected some subscribers in Pasir Ris, Changi and Tampines. Another incident occurred on 4 November and affected subscribers in Bukit Panjang, Woodlands and Bukit Timah. In total, about 850 Mio TV customers were affected.

As a Nationwide Subscription Television Service Licensee, SingNet is required to comply with licence conditions on Quality of Service (QoS), which requires pay-TV services to be provided at reasonable quality that meets public expectations and is satisfactory to the MDA. MDA thus finds SingNet to be in contravention of its QoS licence conditions, and has imposed a financial penalty of $80,000.

Since the disruptions, MDA has noted SingNet's commitment in implementing measures to upgrade its infrastructure to prevent a recurrence.

MDA’s investigation into a separate Mio TV service disruption which occurred on 13 May 2012 is still ongoing.

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.
