Telco-operator Simba has been ordered to pay S$698,594.50 in damages to Altitude Xperience, operator of indoor skydiving experience AltitudeX, for damages caused by using its rooftop space without paying rent. AltitudeX was formerly known as iFly Singapore.
Because of the equipment installed on the rooftop, Altitude Xperience was unable to install air-conditioning, resulting in the company being unable to host events during the day.
The total space occupied by Simba is 4.51 square metres.
Simba, the defendant, argued that the rooftop space it was using fell under the mobile installation space since it was unused, as provided for in the Code of Practice for Info-communication Facilities in Buildings 2018 (Copif).

greedy iFly, say they cannot install air-con to host events. The 3 other telcos also have their equipment on the rooftop.
