Singapore operator MobileOne Ltd. is looking forward to being part of the island's iN2015 initiative to hook up every home with fiber, a move that will help the 3G service provider break into the fixed services world.
M1's CEO Neil Montefiore is hopeful that his firm's consortium, Infinity, can win the "NetCo" deal from the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) . The chosen NetCo will build the passive network infrastructure; separately, an "OpCo" will manage and provision the active network for a number of competitive "ServCos," which will all get to use the open infrastructure on a non-discriminatory basis.
But he's equally excited about becoming part of Singapore's new breed of ServCo as M1 moves from its mobile services base into the fixed line world. There, the planned 1 Gbit/s of access capacity per household will enable a whole raft of services, such as multiple channels of high-definition (HD) TV and online gaming.
