'Shocking.'
MR THAM KWOK KEONG: 'It is shocking to note that of the multibillion-dollar windfall ('$3b EPL windfall'; March 24), Singapore doled out about $350 million to $400 million - that is, 13 per cent of the English Premier League's revenue. According to the report, Hong Kong, a larger market, secured the rights at a lower cost than Singapore. The Media Development Authority's policy of non-interference and allowance for exclusivity led to prices spiralling out of control. While this policy has been reversed, we must wait three years for prices to return to more realistic levels. One can only hope that SingTel and StarHub, as well as other interested parties, would bid more sensibly in future.'

More important issue is to ask Ho Ching to punt more sensibly in future. As the Chinese saying goes, the bottom beam will be crooked if the top beam is laid properly.

 

[zuoom]

if it's true. then we are really overpaying. what gives?

 

[red amoeba]

in more sense than one, HK broadcaster is giving more than our Shithub.

they are broadcasting every BPL across different channels. Shithub only start to do that this season.

Now that we break the record to pay high subscription fees...it will be trend henceforth.

BPL now treat us like a goose that lay golden eggs.

 

[VeryWise]

if it's true. then we are really overpaying. what gives?

Are we overpaying for almost everything? Cars, houses, food, public transport? And importantly, are we overpaying ppl to govern us?

Oh, most definitely, especially the latter.

 

[longbow]

wonder if this is the same when Temasek or GIC invest. After all the seller knows we have deep pockets, want face so why not just whack?

Just like the Dr who bill Sultan of Brunei's relative $20M - if they can got the money just whack.

 

[wrcboi]

the company may secure it at a cheaper rate and release the price at a higher rate and these in turn causes the people to pay more....xtra income...more profits managers get bonus

Boycott StarFcuk till they beg for mercy from consumers .

I have been doing this for the last ten years.

We should all do this starting with our pappy gahmen. Bringing down their highly obscene ministerial salaries is the first step.
