HONG KONG and SINGAPORE -- Hong Kong's City Telecom (CTI) and Singapore's M1 and StarHub today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly form a consortium to design, build and operate the passive infrastructure network capable of delivering ultra high broadband speeds for Singapore. The consortium will jointly submit a bid that will meet all the criteria for the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore’s Request-for-Proposal (RFP) for the Network Company (NetCo).

"CTI’s pioneering innovation and technology have firmly established its success in the region. Currently, CTI, through its wholly owned subsidiary, HKBN’s end-to-end network in Hong Kong, supports the widest range of symmetric broadband services from 25Mbps up to 1Gbps, and has launched Hong Kong’s first Fibre-to-the-Home residential broadband services. Participation in this project is important to enhance telecommunications development across the region. That demonstrates our commitment in this project," said Ricky Wong, Chairman of CTI.

"We welcome StarHub to join us in this project, as their experience and diversity complement the strengths of CTI and M1. We are confident that this will create sparkling synergy for the consortium," Mr. Wong added.
