TPG now building its Singapore team

It is anticipated to launch fibre broadband services in 2H17.

As it gears itself up for the upcoming clash once it commences operations in Singapore, TPG is currently hiring to build its team in the city-state.

Meanwhile, according to UOB KayHian, the group's planned capex of $200m-$300m is perceived to be 'not aggressive'.

"TPG is expected to offer SIM-only service plans, given its no-frill branding and culture in Australia. Offering packages bundled with subsidised smartphones would place a heavy burden on working capital," said the brokerage firm.

TPG is anticipated to launch fibre broadband services in 2H17, leveraging on its strength and expertise in fixed-line network in its home ground in Australia. This is part of its branding in Singapore before launching its mobile services in 2H18.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
