Transfer of Optus assets to Australia's NBN likely

Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. has yet to proceed with a partial float as it awaits what's in store for its Optus unit.

According to Australian Financial Review in a report by Bloomberg, the float depends on what role the unit will take in Australia's NBN Co. Transfer of some assets to the national broadband network is also being looked at, in exchange for equity.

The report added Optus is planning to sell its hybrid coaxial fibre network to NBN. SingTel Optus Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Telecommunications, is the second largest telecommunications company in Australia with approximately 1.3 million household connections within its hybrid coaxial fibre network.

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.
