StarHub elbows out iCELL as provider of Singapore's free wi-fi program

StarHub elbows out iCELL as provider of Singapore's free wi-fi program

 - Singapore Business Review

It also joins M1 and SingTel on board.

Current Wireless@SG users and potential users can look forward to having more choices as new Wireless@SG operators came on board for the Next Phase of the Wireless@SG programme with effect from 1 April 2013.

StarHub joins M1 and SingTel as Wireless@SG operators after the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore dropped iCELL--a local systems integrator--out of the list of providers. The IDA said that iCELL did not meet the standards of the next phase of Wireless@SG.

All three mobile operators – M1, SingTel and StarHub – will be on board as Wireless@SG operators. Y5Zone Singapore Pte Ltd, a Wi-Fi service provider will also be on board as a Wireless@SG operator.

Y5Zone Singapore is part of the Y5Zone International Group which has a regional headquarters in Hong Kong and its core business is in operating public Wi-Fi networks.

Existing Wireless@SG users could choose to retain their existing accounts with M1 or SingTel. They could also sign up with the new operators, StarHub and Y5Zone, when these operators start Wireless@SG account registration at a later date.

Users who have existing accounts with iCELL, which would cease to be a Wireless@SG operator with effect from 1 July 2013, could also choose to register a new account with M1 and SingTel now or with StarHub and Y5Zone at a later date. For iCELL users who already have Wireless@SG accounts with other operators, they could use the alternative accounts to access Wireless@SG as these accounts will remain valid.

The three mobile operators – M1, SingTel and StarHub – are also preparing for the implementation of interoperable SIM-based authentication which allows a one-time configuration of mobile phones for automatic detection and log-in to the Wireless@SG network with effect from 1 April 2014. The operators will advise the procedures of configuration details in due course.

Web-based login and Seamless Secure Access (SSA) will continue to be offered as login methods alongside SIM-based authentication.

Faster free public Wi-Fi network access islandwide.

Digital free-to-air television channels by the end of the year.

Over S$182 million in budget more for locally-produced programmes on culture and heritage.

These were among the wide-ranging plans to boost the info comm and media infrastructure announced by Minister for Communications and Information (MCI) Yaacob Ibrahim in Parliament on Friday.

Wi-Fi speeds on Wireless@SG will be bumped on from 1Mbps to a maximum 2Mbps from next month.

"IDA will enhance our national wireless infrastructure by expanding the capacity and speed of Wireless@SG," said the Minister during the debate on the recently unveiled Budget.

Aside from faster speeds, the login process for Wireless@SG will also be simplified from next April with users only needing to log-in once instead of repeated sign-ins currently. This will be possible because

"This will complement our mobile networks and allow subscribers to more seamlessly shift from 3G/4G networks to Wireless@SG," said Dr Yaacob.

Turning to the media industry, free-to-air channels 5, 8, Suria and Vasantham will begin broadcasting in hi-definition by the end of the year. Other channels like Octo would do so only in 2016.

By April, consumer labels to identify digital TV sets will be available on televisions and separate set-top boxes.

The Media Development Authority (MDA) will ensure low income and the elderly will also benefit from this.

Dr Yaacob also said the MCI is still reviewing their media convergence plan and are looking at these areas: content regulation, encouraging local content, copyrights and licensing framework.
Regarding local content, Dr Yaacob said it would devote another S$182 million to increase the quality and quantity of public service broadcast (PSB) programmes over the next four years to focus on local heritage and culture. 
This amount is on top of a S$630 million budget that had been earmarked for public service programmes earlier in July 2012, spread across five years till 2016.
