SINGAPORE: TPG Telecom will be Singapore's fourth, and newest, mobile operator, after a successfully bid for the spectrum needed to launch mobile services here, the Infocomm Media Development Authority said on Wednesday (Dec 14).

It made the winning bid of S$105 million for the spectrum on offer, IMDA added.

Both companies were last month assessed to be a pre-qualified candidate for the New Entrant Spectrum Auction (NESA), which is the first phase to facilitate the entry of a possible fourth telco and only open to those who do not currently operate a nationwide mobile network in Singapore.

In an earlier report, it was said that the potential new mobile operator will get to pay less for the airwaves reserved, from the proposed S$40 million to S$35 million, primarily because of the changed composition of spectrum bands. The 700 MHz has been removed due to uncertainty over the switch over date from analog TV transmission to digital.

The spectrum rights will commence in April 2017, meaning that would be the earliest theoretical start for the new telco.

The then-Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) said it will allow a reasonable period for the new mobile network operator (MNO) to build up its own network, and that the telco must achieve nationwide outdoor service coverage by October 2018.

Fed raises rates, sees faster pace of increases in 2017
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-fed-idUSKBN1430G4

The U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a quarter point on Wednesday and signaled a faster pace of increases in 2017 as the Trump administration takes over with promises to boost growth through tax cuts, spending and deregulation.

The rate increase, regarded as a virtual certainty by financial markets in the wake of a string of generally strong economic reports, raised the target federal funds rate 25 basis points to between 0.50 percent and 0.75 percent.

"In view of realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation, the committee decided to raise the target range," the central bank's policy-setting committee said in its unanimous statement after a two-day meeting.

Long USD.

Enjoy the USD rally while it lasts. Technical correction should come in the coming weeks.

Not say I long winded. Since months ago I keep encouraging others to hold more USD and less SGD to increase purchasing power and for arbitrage. Today's show down is the result. :s13:

I go Johor Bahru use USD to change MYR even more song than using SGD to change hahaha.

CNY is also another under rated currency. :D

Tomorrow pick up REITs?

These are my *** for 2 tranches each.

Suntec: 1st tranche - $1.65 2nd tranche - $1.60

CCT: 1st tranche - $1.52 2nd tranche - $1.47

FCT: 1st tranche - $1.90 2nd tranche - $1.86

Target fire these 3 REITs below NAV should give me a larger margin of safety. Good luck everyone! Please DYODD.

Seriously, you mean you thought they wouldn't raise? Most people expected the hike and will act accordingly. For example, most people were saving their warchest to buy REITS after this hike.

I will also start queuing for REITS. Queue for CCT if under $1.50, Maybe ART as well for their foreign holdings =:p
