Singapore invites companies to begin preparing bids for telecoms licenses
Article Abstract:
Singapore has finally bowed to international pressure to open up its telecommunications industry by deregulating it and inviting foreign companies to participate in joint ventures. The latter will be allowed up to 49% equity participation. The deregulation decision will break up the monopoly of Singapore Telecommunications, although it will be permitted to relinquish its control gradually, that is, within a three-and-a-half-year period.
