want to know more about the latest IT happenings in Singapore? check this out..

we all commonly know about the free Wireless@SG service, but it will be free till december 2009, but however, iDA extended it! yay! that should be good news to all free Wireless@SG users and also for those who does not have internet access at home. :D which its till 2013. :D

that would also save me money in getting the vodaphone M1 wireless or the Starhub Maxmobile wireless. hahah. :) thats great.

next up, wanting to experience optic fibre high speed network up to 1Gbps? yeah. thats the Singapore’s Next Generation National Broadband Network (NGNBN).

This fibre optic platform will be the key foundation of the NGNBN, which is part of the Intelligent Nation 2015 or iN2015 blueprint to turn Singapore into a sophisticated city with seamless connectivity. OpenNet will deliver a resilient and robust fibre platform at least two and a half years ahead of schedule of the iN2015 vision, positioning for completion by 2012.

Being the foundation of the NGNBN, OpenNet will provide a competitive, yet neutral environment for all downstream operators, enabling the delivery of ultra-high speeds network of 1Gbps and above.

thats about it. OpenNet got the bid, which is a joint venture of four partners – Axia NetMedia (Axia), Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel), Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) and SP Telecommunications (SPT).

That means, it would be expensive subscription again. :( and i prefer starhub, as it would be alot cheaper, and yeap. :)
