StarHub and M1 submit joint bid for 5G license

This follows an earlier announcement last January 23.

M1 and StarHub have submitted a joint bid for a 5G license, an announcement revealed.

This follows their announcement last January 23, where they disclosed that they have agreed to submit a joint bid for a 5G license.

The two companies did not disclose any details yet as they are unable due to the ongoing evaluation process.

“We are unable to disclose further information till the evaluation process concludes,” the press release stated.

Analysts have noted as early as 2019 that the two firms may collaborate for a 5G license bid. StarHub had been planning to sign a network-sharing deal with M1 since 2017, but encountered delays due to conditions in the mobile market and change in M1’s ownership structure.

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.
