Singapore's mobile subscriber growth slows down to just 4%

Even broadband subscriptions dropped.

According to Ministry of Trade and Industry's Economic Survey of Singapore 2012, growth in the number of broadband subscribers moderated from 17 per cent in 2011 to 10 per cent in 2012. With the increase in the number of subscribers, the broadband subscription rate rose to 1.92 per capita in 2012.

Similarly, the number of mobile subscribers grew by a slower 4.0 per cent in 2012 compared to the 6.4 per cent increase in 2011.

As a result of the increase in subscribers, the mobile subscription rate reached 1.52 per capita in 2012, slightly higher than the 1.50 per capita in 2011.

International telephone call duration saw an increase of 8.5 per cent in 2012, a reversal from the 0.7 per cent decline recorded in the previous year.

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.
