1) Sin...This appears to be a triple lose situation<br /><br />1) Singtel pays a bomb. Whether it can make a profit from this deal is questionable. Also, after 3 years, the contract is up for grab again. Everything will be back to square 1<br /><br />2) Starhub will lose a substantial no. of subscribers to Singtel in these 3 years.<br /><br />3) Consumers will have the inconvenience and incur cost on the switching of the providers.<br /><br />Another curve ball may come into play - Government intervention, from the perspective that consumers got the losing end from the market competition instead of benefiting from it.<br /><br />In fact, the best scenario actually is for Singtel and Starhub to co-bid for the contract and both get to screen it. Then consumers will have the freedom to choose from the 2 providers based on their service and pricing.<br /><br />Right now, consumers have no choice, and it is very much a monopoly - to the provider who successfully bagged the contract.Retail Investorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15129114180464789604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-46346366717630308492009-10-05T02:35:03.417-07:002009-10-05T02:35:03.417-07:00Singtel is a bad service provider . but it has so ...Singtel is a bad service provider . but it has so many advantages over starhub.
