Conspiracy

I don’t know about you. So let’s hear others opinion (especially those who are overseas).

There are 3 Telcos in Singapore. Singtel, Starhub and M1. Currently, there’s only 2 telcos providing cable TV ie Singtel and Starhub. And only 1 telco get the rights to broadcast ESPN English Premier League. Apparently only 1 telco can broadcast whatever league there is.

Now. Starhub used to own the rights to these channels and Singtel didn’t use to have cable TV. since they introduce their (really sucky package) cable TV, they have been engaged in this very xiong bidding war for the rights to broadcast EPL. Recently, Singtel WON the rights to EPL, which really is one of the MAIN reason people subscribe to Starhub cable.

The FUNNY THING is. Singtel and Starhub (and for that matter M1) are all under the same huge umbrella company. i don’t know about your country but this really seems like a pseudo war to raise prices for cable TV (though i don’t watch them).

What do you think?
