Singtel says NO to Apple

This is definitely something to cheer about.You may ask “what’s the big deal?” It is because it is a Singapore company which is a first to say no to Apple’s iPhone revenue sharing model. I can’t say which is better for Singapore consumers – a revenue sharing model or the traditional Singtel business model. However it is something to shout about because every other telco company outside the States have succumbed to Apple’s demands.Apple, on the other hand, will not let itself be embarrassed. It claims that it is not married to the single carrier model. So the burning questions are:  

1.  Will we get a locked iPhone?
2.  Will M1 and Starhub offer the iPhone eventually?
3.  Will Singtel provide support for the features unique to iPhone, such as visual voicemail?

“You smoke too much, drink too much, and the only exercise you get is sex!” – heard on Californication. For some reason this line popped into my head as I was sitting around, doing nothing. It kinda reminds me of my life here. Well not that I’ve been getting any sex, and mind you, I do go to the gym.My days here are spent waiting and waiting, waiting to get a flight done, waiting for progress. And the longer the wait is the harder it gets. I just want to go home really, with my license.
