Optus Satellite to remain on SingTel's court

No satisfying offer yet.

According to a report by Reuters, Singapore Telecommunications Ltd signaled on Tuesday it may not be selling Optus Satellite after announcing it had concluded its strategic review of the business.

The statement came after SingTel received offers for Optus that were below the A$2 billion ($1.8 billion) price previously set by the Singapore company, sources told Reuters last week.

SingTel had initiated a review of Optus, which owns and operates satellites in Australia, in March this year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
