Telco price war intensifies with fiber broadband shift

The big three-M1, StarHub, SingTel-are now pushing their 100Mbps plans at prices within 10-16Mbps range.

Accorrding to CIMB, pricing is now more competitive, with all three incumbents now pushing their 100Mbps plans to customers at prices that are similar to 10-16Mbps.

Here's more from CIMB:

We expect competition to remain intense, possibly increase as more Internet users switch to the Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network.

From our surveys, competition remained fairly benign in 2Q12. Apart from a continued emphasis on smartphones, tablets and data bundles, telcos had expanded their focus to fibre broadband plans in the NGNBN. Despite bottlenecks faced in rolling out NGNBN, there are some positive indications of NGNBN subscriber take-up. Network coverage is growing and is set to pass 95% of Singapore homes by Jul 12.

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.
