SingTel to conduct '4G' trials in Singapore and region
Singapore Telecommunications will be a testing a '4G' technology that can deliver Internet content to mobile phones wirelessly at many times faster than what's available now.
The trials will begin from the first half of 2010 in Singapore, Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines, in collaboration with Optus, Globe Telecom and Telkomsel

SingTel – Results (Alfred Low)
Recommendation: Buy (Maintain)
Previous close: S$2.98
Fair value: S$3.32
• 2Q10 Results. SingTel reported 2Q10 operating revenue of S$4,103m (+5.4% yoy) and net profit of
S$956m (+10.1% yoy). Its Singapore and Australian operations posted revenue growth of 8.2% and 7.4% in
Singapore dollar and Australian dollar terms respectively. Moreover, the share of earnings from its regional
associates increased by 31.5% in Singapore dollar terms. This was led by strong performance from its
Indonesian associate, Telkomsel.
• Maintain BUY recommendation and reduce fair value from S$3.80 to S$3.32. We maintain our buy
recommendation, as we believe in the growth potential of SingTel. SingTel is expected to see an increase in
market share in Pay TV after securing the rights to Barclays Premier League (BPL) matches. Moreover, its
regional mobile associates are anticipated to grow in terms of acquiring more customers as the global
economy picks up. However, we reduce the fair value from S$3.80 to S$3.32 as we lower the expected profit
contribution from Bharti due to greater competition in the Indian market.

DJ MARKET TALK: UBS Cuts SingTel Target To S$3.42; Keeps Buy
12 November 2009 12:04
0404 GMT [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: UBS lowers SingTel (Z74.SG) target price to S$3.42 from S$3.66 following fiscal 2Q10 results. Target price cut due to lower valuation for Indian associate Bharti in SingTel sum-of-the parts. Also trims FY10-FY12 earnings forecasts by 0.4%-2.4%, to factor in lower earning expectations for Bharti. "Competitive concerns for Bharti in India could weigh on the SingTel stock in the near term." But maintains Buy rating as has positive 12-month view on associates Telkomsel in Indonesia and Bharti and recent strength of AUD and INR versus the SGD positive for SingTel. Adds SingTel's 2Q10 results largely in line with expectations as good performance in Singapore offset by weaker than expected showing from Optus in Australia. Shares down 1.0% at S$2.95; STI off 0.3%. (KIG)

It shows SMARTNESS has no relation to how much education you have....
SingTel has never been Strategic since IPO....
One tea lady at the office was so SMART that she sold all at the PEAK and the CFO was holding on to the stock till today....
It gonna be siong for quite sometime because Starhub has offered free sports channels and free usuage of its box for EPL. Surely, the loyal Starhub subscribers will think twice before switching over.

lots more shorting and waiting to recover as always.
MAS report out. standby for market movement.
only shorties have the answers, to be able to create a 50 cents movement in a dormant day. selling then buy back at lower ... or buying then selling higher... obviously for the first is easier. good volatility in singtel thanks to them
this is just the 6 hotel. it cant be 21m if they wired up the entire sentosa. they should try putting a super fast 4g network in the resort. would help a lot.

singtel to report on 11/11 before market. i dunno why but if there is bad news, the report comes after market. there is changes in strategy or major investment, the announcement is normally abt noon. good profits takes place before market. anyway, tomolo singtel will go higher on fair expectation of better local revenue as well as better than rival performance in australia and india so far this quarter. this would continue to strengthen this FY's financial figures. especially the new stakes in indian market looks set to better the prospects in the next result reporting already. their issue of bond for optus would also allow optus to make strategic expansion that might justify any bad numbers at the end of the FY. bharti is growing still, not as strongly but relatively healthy. its advantage in the market is still undeniably strong. looking for a good quarter that would signal better operating condition for singtel while "concerns" on price margin narrowing remains a strain, but is something that singtel is expecting or have prep for etc... then goes their forward plan to maybe expand into some market like vietnam, fund raising for expansion, increased in india stake to strategically pitch for a better position in the country next big national broadband etc, becoming a lead or premium content providers in local market prior to NBN so that singtel can effectively compete with the up coming RSP for market shares....
there are just tonnes of good thing singtel can do.... but ONE KEY, they should improve customer service. cheers
huh? $21m ONLY ? while throwing over S$280m into the LongKang for EPL license ?!?! DOES NOT make sense to me !! :D

Bharti Airtel not seeking new buys
Bharti
Airtel director Akhil Gupta said last week the company would look at
buying a stake in Zain if there was an opportunity, but there was
nothing on the horizon
-

New
Delhi: India’s top mobile operator, is not actively seeking
acquisitions, after its $23 billion planned tie-up talks with South
Africa’s MTN collapsed, the Indian firm’s chairman Sunil Mittal said on
Sunday.
With political rather than commercial factors seen as the
deal-killer with MTN, analysts have said Bharti could look at Kuwait’s
Zain, Sweden’s Millicom and Egypt’s Orascom.
“Hopefully sometime
soon,” Mittal told reporters at the Word Economic Forum, replying to a
question whether the company was actively looking at new buys. “We are
taking a break,” he said.
Bharti Airtel director Akhil Gupta said
last week the company would look at buying a stake in Zain if there was
an opportunity, but there was nothing on the horizon.
An
international acquisition would open new revenue streams for Bharti
Airtel as its home market saturates and cut-throat competition is
pushing call charges even lower in a market which already offers some
of the world’s cheapest call rates.
Bharti has maintained that emerging markets, including Africa, were of interest for acquisitions.
Bharti,
which also runs a Mobile operation in Sri Lanka, was interested in
Millicom’s assets in the country, but Etisalat emerged as the winner of
the assets.
In India, stiff price competition has clouded the
outlook for the once-booming telecom sector as a sharp fall in call
charges would hit operators’ profitability.
After a strong
response to a per-second billing plan launched by sixth-ranked operator
Tata Teleservices, India’s three leading mobile firms, Bharti Airtel,
Reliance Communications and Vodafone Essar, have launched similar plans.
“The question is how long this is going to last,” Mittal said of the price war.
“This
is a business that needs huge investments, one has to commit billions
of dollars,” Mittal said, adding lower return on investments would
force consolidations in the industry.
“At the end of the day
every economic model will require returns and if there are no returns,
you will see consolidation,” he said.
“World over consolidation
has taken place. Wherever there have been more operators, they have
been reduced. There is empirical evidence.”
India’s telecoms
regulator is revisiting the country’s M&A policy for telecoms and
Mittal said operators would take their decision based on the policy.
A
senior official at No. 2 player Reliance Communications has said they
expected a consolidation in the Indian telecom sector to be kicked off
in the next 18-24 months.
Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) has agreed to increase its effective stake in Bharti Airtel to 31.95% from 30.43%.
When asked if it was planned earlier, Mittal said there was no “roadmap” for SingTel increasing its stake.

StarHub's offer attractive?
STARHUB'S offer to host SingTel's pay-TV channels - including its
star striker, the English Premier League (EPL) - for free is a bold
move, but it will fail.
At first sight, the proposition seems tenable. It would help soothe
soccer fans crying foul over the inconvenience of having two set-top
boxes to continue catching striker Wayne Rooney's deft touches while
enjoying existing favourites like Discovery.
Under the proposal, SingTel's mio TV channels could air on
StarHub's cable-TV box, just as viewers have been catching MediaCorp's
free-to-air offerings, such as Channels 5 and 8, through the cable box
for years. And since StarHub is doing this pro bono, SingTel has
nothing to lose, or so the argument goes.
On paper, SingTel has potentially more to gain than just making
Singaporeans happy. Currently, mio TV can reach out to only 95 per cent
of the nation, but I suspect the figure is actually even lower, judging
by anecdotal evidence supplied by many Singaporeans who have been told
their homes are not 'mio TV-ready'.
No surprise then that StarHub chief executive Terry Clontz, in his
first interview since SingTel's EPL win, raised doubts about his
rival's ability to wire up the entire country before the next EPL
season starts in August 2010. SingTel Singapore's CEO Allen Lew
responded quickly, stressing it would deliver the goods in time. If
SingTel accepted the offer, it wouldn't have to worry about losing face
if it fails to fulfil its promise.
You might find the lack of coverage strange, as mio TV runs on the
same telephone lines that power SingNet's broadband Internet service of
many years. They make use of the same asymmetric digital subscriber
line (ADSL) technology to transmit data and video packets over phone
lines to homes. The problem with ADSL technology - it has hit a speed
wall at 25 Mbps, while rival StarHub's cable broadband has raced ahead
to 100 Mbps, and can still grow.
