M1, Starhub join forces to combat new telco threat

They are exploring mobile infrastructure sharing.

Two heads are better than one, and incumbent telcos M1 and StarHub have just inked a Memorandum of Understanding to study increased collaboration in mobile infrastructure sharing.

Pooling of network resources will allow M1 and StarHub to roll out more cost effective next-generation networks, as wel as improve network coverage and capacity for the benefit of customers. Network traffic will continue to be managed independently by the companies.

The MOU was signed by Chief Executive Officer of M1, Karen Kooi and Chief Executive Officer of StarHub, Tan Tong Hai.

“When realised, this could lower our operational and capital expenditures for both M1 and StarHub, so that we can run our existing mobile services efficiently, and still be able to invest in future technologies to keep Singapore at the forefront of the infocomm industry,” Kooi said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
