StarHub's 5G+ network upgrade using the 700 MHz spectrum will help the telco defend market share in Singapore but is unlikely to reverse the ongoing decline in mobile revenues, according to analysts.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

StarHub’s 5G upgrade stabilises your customer base but won’t grow your mobile revenue. If you supply telecom services or tech in Singapore, prepare for tough pricing pressure despite better coverage.
