The press is supposed to be unbiased but just look at such a headline and report supporting the conglomerates and monopoly to screw consumers working so hard to defend their own.
No way but up for mobile plan prices in Singapore
Saturated market will see telcos raising prices to boost revenue
By Irene Tham Technology Correspondent
Customers are talking less and sending fewer SMS messages, traditionally money spinners for telcos. Instead, they are using more mobile data for chat apps such as WhatsApp and to surf sites such as Facebook. -- ST FILE PHOTO
From next Tuesday, SingTel will raise the cost of most of its mobile price plans. New customers and those who renew their contracts will pay $3 more for their monthly subscriptions.
The new mobile plans will come with more talk time and SMSes, as well as a waiver of the monthly $10.70 add-on fee for the high-speed 4G service.
At first glance, it may make sense for SingTel customers to switch to M1 and StarHub.
But customers of StarHub and M1 should also be worried: Analysts believe that SingTel's move is but the start of a wave of price adjustments across the industry.
