Singapore will always be the model city-state. With great focus anchored on progressive ideals, Singapore has become an example for countries to strive for, citing the efficiency of its institutions and with the way its government is handling the day to day lives of its citizens.
To be sure, Singapore sets the standards when it comes to securing the best for the people of this tiny yet significant part of Southeast Asia. At the same time, it has cultivated a climate of progressivism that allows various industries to thrive in. On the surface, Singapore may seem like the disciplinarian state that a lot of people seem to believe. But, when it comes down to entrepreneurship, business owners will show nothing but optimism in saying that the country takes care of every player, big and small.
More importantly, the country enjoys a high level of prosperity spurned by heavy investments in education as well as a thriving economy where opportunities abound on all sectors of the Singaporean business spectrum.
Telecom opportunities
The telecommunications industry, in particular, benefits from the fact that Singapore has a robust base for communications technology. This has been indicated by high numbers in mobile subscriptions as well as household penetration rates, arguably the highest in this part of Asia.
According to a report by the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore, there are at least 2,013,200 fixed line subscriptions with a penetration rate of at least 94.1% as of June 2016. During the same period, the report showed that there are at least 8 million people who currently have mobile (2G,3G and 4G) subscriptions.
Not surprising enough, the telecom industry thrives on a penetration rate of at least 148.2% of the total mobile population. Added to that is the fact that there are at least 12 million broadband subscriptions, making the Singaporean telecom one of the most competitive in the world.
With that said, telecom companies are afforded ample opportunities to expand and tap a larger share of the market as possible. But the issue remains for these companies to identify how well to promote their products and services and ensure a better position to rise above the competition.
