StarHub loses 7,000 post-paid subscribers in Q2

This is due to the completion of enterprise projects.

The competition remains intense in the mobile business segment, resulting into StarHub losing 7,000 post-paid subscribers in the past quarter.

According to UOB Kay Hian analyst Jonathan Koh the decline was also due to the completion of enterprise projects. Whilst it lost subscribers, StarHub managed to see an increase in the average revenue per user (ARPU), inching up 4% QoQ to $70.

The analyst noted that this is attributed to the take-up of value-added services, such as DataJump and DataShare, and increased data usage. The average data usage increased 21% YoY and 3% QoQ to 4GB/month.

Meanwhile, the group's prepaid mobile revenue fell by 3.6% YoY as ARPU declined 6% to $15.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
