SingTel snubbed in Myanmar telco license awarding

And why it's not so devastating.

SingTel was not among one of the two winners awarded the 15-year telecommunications licences in Myanmar despite being touted as one of the front-runners, according to OCBC Investment Research, but it will not have "any lasting impact as there will be other opportunities for SingTel to get involved at a later stage."

The research firm also echoed some market sentiment that those awarded the maiden licences -- Norway’s Telenor and Qatar’s Ooredoo (formerly known as Qatar Telecom -- may face a lot of challenges in getting the infrastructure in place.

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.
