The IDA has accepted SingTel's proposal for the Northern region which encompasses Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Checkpoint, Hougang, Kovan, Novena, Orchard Road, Sembawang, Sengkang, Serangoon, Thomson, Toa Payoh, Woodlands, Yishun. Although the three service providers participating in the wireless CFC are expected to offer free WiFi access for two years, SingTel says it has raised the bar by offering an additional year of free access to its customers, representing annual savings of about $S120 per user. In addition to free basic Internet services such as surfing and emailing at these wireless hotspots, SingTel says that customers "can expect to enjoy new value-added services that are timely, innovative and personalised to meet their lifestyle needs and location." These services include Broadband TV on the move, SingTel’s eConcierge smart location-based services, WhizGuide and BuddyWRU (Buddy Where Are You), as well as unlimited mobile VoIP calls at a fixed monthly fee. SingTel customers when logging onto the Internet at any of SingTel’s WiFi hotspots in the North Region will see a personalised homepage and "receive relevant information that is of interest to them, both in terms of their lifestyle needs and location."{moscomment} |
