Analysts note that recent moves by the telcos could help to move negotiations forward, grow subscriber base
TELCOS StarHub and M1 may be posturing for more subscribers ahead of StarHub’s long-rumoured acquisition of the latter.
In a Nov 13 Macquarie report, analyst Foo Zhiwei noted that StarHub has deferred the payment for its 700-megahertz (MHz) spectrum to somewhere between November 2024 and end-June 2025.
Similarly, M1’s parent company Keppel has also deferred its payment for the same spectrum to June next year, Foo reported on Nov 5.
