Singtel CEO fears competition will be focused on price with 4th telco entrant; Internet responds

Netizens have come up with an alternative to lower prices that Singtel may want to consider

The Straits Times reported that in a Bloomberg Television interview on Feb. 12, Singtel Chief Executive Officer Chua Sock Koong said that a new telco entrant may use lower prices to attract customers as its network reach is not as wide as incumbent telcos.

She added that this driving down of prices will not be good for the industry. She shared that the telco industry requires significant capital investment on an ongoing basis.

Here's what netizens thought of Chua's comments about a new competitor competing by lowering prices:

singtel lower prices

singtel lower prices 2

singtel lower prices 3

singtel lower prices 4

singtel lower prices 5

Service quality and providing value, not price as it seems from comments, are areas Singtel can look to improving to retain/win customers.
