  • Aggressive wireless rollout in Singapore

    SingTel currently have 100 hotspots setup. Access will be charged at 20 cents per-minute with no subscription to pay and GPRS-enabled phones will also be able to use the hotpots as well as WiFi.

    Singapore is a pretty small place but as it’s configured the offering doesn’t sound that mainstream, with a maximum of only 3,000 being able to use the service by the end of the year when it will reach 150 hotspots. I assume as demand increases they will increase the number and density of the hotspots.

  • Korea surge for VDSL

    Not content with blazing the ADSL trail, Korea has been March 2002.
