“Beyond just giving a huge boost to net access speeds, a high
speed network means consumers can expect new services, such
as Internet-Protocol (IP) based high-definition television. A wider
array of tiered broadband access packages to cater to different
consumers and business segments, high-quality video conferencing
and Internet-based calls are amongst other (new possibilities) that
the new network would bring... (From a business perspective) the
availability of a high-speed network to power activities such as
biomedical research, video rendering and transmission, as well as
data storage and backup will undoubtedly boost Singapore’s status
as a regional hub.”
