MyRepublic promises to 'disrupt' telco industry with aggressive publicity stunt

Registration for mobile network testing is now open.

Fourth telco hopeful MyRepublic today launched its "My 4th Telco" campaign, which aims to garner and organise popular feedback and support for its bid to become the country's next telecommunications provider.

In a statement, MyRepublic promised to "disrupt the industry" by providing "generous" mobile data offerings.

My Republic will be building an entirely new, smallscale mobile network infrastructure to test their mobile network solution in a designated area within the Jurong Lake District.

Interested participants can sign up for MyRepublic's campaign and become part of its first public mobility trial.

Up to 1,000 MyRepublic SIM cards will be given free to selected trial participants, which will enable users to use 4G services within the boundaries of the trial coverage area.

Participants in the trial will be required to submit constructive feedback and commitment to certain requirements, such using the MyRepublic mobile network in the area for a minimum number of minutes.

MyRepublic CEO Malcolm Rodrigues said: “While the scale of this test is small, we’re excited to have the opportunity to work with the IDA in exploring the application of HetNet and small cell technology. This new technology promises better coverage and what we learn here will help us in planning for a nationwide mobile network rollout.”

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.
