SINGAPORE: The Media Development Authority (MDA) has asked
SingTel to provide clarity on the pricing of their sports packages
following its successful bid for the English Premier League for three
seasons starting next year.
In a statement, MDA noted that SingTel has committed to not charging
more than what cable subscribers are currently paying and ensuring
100 per cent rollout to all households by the time the season starts in
2010.

With SingTel winning the EPL bid, members of the public have voiced
concerns over possible higher charges as well as the hassle of using
multiple set—up boxes.
MDA said it understands the concerns raised, stressing that its goal remains to find an effective solution that
works best in the Singapore context.
MDA said the bidding process is a commercial one with terms determined by the Football Association
Premier League and agreed upon with the bidders.
It added that dialogue sessions were held with the industry on possible regulatory interventions to address
this issue in the long term even before the bidding. — 938LIVE/vm
