Non-ResidentialExisting fiber networks will not transfer customers to NGNBN (SingTel, StarHub, Verizon, Bluetel, etc)Opportunity lies in buildings not currently served with fiberSingTel will be hesitant to cannibalize their own revenue streams
Residential SingTel is rolling out GPON network StarHub needs to increase ARPU to migrate from HFC networkOnly M1 may be a meaningful new player
