Starhub and M1 to jointly bid for 5G licence

They are working towards the deadline for proposals.

StarHub and M1 have agreed to submit a joint bid for a 5G licence in an exclusive agreement, according to a press release.

Multiple industry analysts have expected the two companies to partner for the licence. According to a report by DBS Group Research, StarHub has been planning to sign a network-sharing deal with M1 since 2017, but saw delays due to conditions in the mobile market and change in M1’s ownership structure.

The parties are reportedly working towards the 17 February deadline for 5G proposals.

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.
