Singapore - Mobile Communications - Market Overview The mobile market in Singapore is characterised by its energy and innovation. Even as growth rates slowed, there has been considerable effort still going into value-added products and services, and most importantly into new generation technologies. The market initially approached the launch of 3G with a degree of caution. As the licences were issued and the networks rolled out, some of the major operators and, to some extent, the government were circumspect about the prospect of next generation of mobiles. However, by 2012 3G subscriptions comprised three quarters of the total mobile subscriber base of almost eight million. Overall mobile penetration had reached 150%. Singapore had the lowest mobile prices in the world as a proportion of income according to the ITU?s ICT development index.
Key developments:
SingTel announces major corporate restructure; SingTel, MobileOne and StarHub launch LTE networks; spectrum rights for 4G to be auctioned in 2013; volume of SMS traffic starting to decline; mobile subscriber penetration passes 150% milestone.
