Starhub's been chosen among the other bidders

On 3 April, Starhub was officially announced the operating company of Singapore's upcoming broadband network. This decision was also corresponding to the Government's new project on the local's future technology development, Singapore 2015(i2015) project. The network will be installed by Starhub and it will allow data traffic to be directed island-widely.

The new fibre-optic network will be 10 times faster than the present network, which is run by Singtel and Starhub both Singapore's main network operators. Regarding the expected finishing time of the installation, it was made clear that it would be around 2012, even before the year 2015. The OpenNet group would also be laying the cables while Starhub will install the equipment to write it.

The IDA Chairman Yong Ying-I said that even though Starhub's rivals, SingTel, M1 and IntelliNet put in a good bid, Starhub stood out for the competitiveness of the price of its wholesale offering. As those mentioned bids were highly-confidential, Ms Yong declined for elaboration.

Singapore's second largest telco, Starhub, will be putting in its own money of $750 million into the project of a contract period of 25-year.

While the residential lines will be charged $21 per month for 100 Mbps, business users will be charged at $75 monthly and IDA's target, to meet a target of 330,000 residential users and 80,000 business users by 2015.
