  All three mobile operators - Singtel, StarHub and M1 - have been fined $10,000 each for failing to meet the regulator's new standard for outdoor 3G coverage.

  This is the first time telcos have been fined for poor 3G coverage.

  An independent test conducted by the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) in September showed that the telcos fell short of the 99 per cent outdoor mobile network coverage required of them.

  The new standard kicked in April this year

  "It could have been worse"

  "What do you think ?"

  "We could have planned better."

  "Let's move on."

  Countless number of times my mobile line cut off suddenly.    Hopeless temasek miw govt owned company over these telcos.   Fight fight fight for business for one source Temasek.  Temasek just shake leg stretch out hands to receive profits.

  Monopolizing essential needs reap profits,   is this profiteering?

  well, the telcos when contacted not sure why line cut off, make a guess it could be the sim card;s fault.

  Who to blame ?

  The consumer never exercise their right.

  Are we really getting full 3G in Singapore ?

  If there is no 3G full coverage, why are we paying so much for ???
