StarHub lost 4,000 cable TV subscribers in 1Q13

Revenue also dropped to $95m.

According to DBS, they see a structural decline in roaming revenue as more consumers use Wi-Fi and local data-cards when overseas. Cable TV revenue also dropped 1% y-o-y to S$95m due to loss of 4K subscribers in 1Q13.

Here's more from DBS:

Mobile revenue is expected to recover in 2H13. Generally there is seasonal rise in roaming revenue in 2H. More importantly, customers on tiered data-plans will start to pay excess data-usage charges in 2H13 as the additional 1GB data promotion expires in 1H13.

Pay TV and broadband may continue to face challenges though.

Mobile revenue dropped 1.5% y-o-y to S$302m due to similar decline in postpaid ARPU as a result of lower roaming revenue.

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.
