Transfer of Optus assets to Australia's NBN likely

Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. has yet to proceed with a partial float as it awaits what's in store for its Optus unit.

According to Australian Financial Review in a report by Bloomberg, the float depends on what role the unit will take in Australia's NBN Co. Transfer of some assets to the national broadband network is also being looked at, in exchange for equity.

The report added Optus is planning to sell its hybrid coaxial fibre network to NBN. SingTel Optus Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Telecommunications, is the second largest telecommunications company in Australia with approximately 1.3 million household connections within its hybrid coaxial fibre network.

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.
