According to Singapore's Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), "The next gen NBN NetCo and OpCo RFPs were structured to ensure that downstream operators have effective open access to the next gen NBN. "This is to spur a vibrant and competitive next generation broadband market where businesses and consumers can enjoy innovative services from a variety of RSPs. Effective open access through structural separation for the next gen NBN NetCo and operational separation for the next gen NBN OpCo is key to achieving such a vision."According to IDA, Nucleus Connect will offer a wholesale price of $S21 per month for a 100Mbps residential end-user connection and $S121 for a 1Gbps connection. For non-residential premises, such as offices and schools, Nucleus Connect will offer a wholesale price of $S75 per month for a100 Mbps connection. Enterprise users who have more demanding requirements can opt for a 1Gbps connection at $860 per month.
Nucleus Connect will work with OpenNet, on a coordinated nationwide rollout of the network. It is expected to start offering commercial services by the first half of 2010, and be ready to fulfil its universal service obligations from 2013.
