Of Cable TV programmes - Singtel and Starhub

This is quite a piece of good news.

ONE set-top box - that is all you need to watch cable TV programmes from either StarHub or SingTel.
This is a major departure from the current situation, where StarHub cable TV customers cannot watch programmes telecast on rival SingTel's mio TV.
To watch shows from both, you would need an account with both players and pay for two set-up boxes.
But yesterday, the Government mandated that the companies work out a way to allow customers of one to watch shows from the other, without having to install two boxes in their homes or open another account.
Consumers will also pay identical fees for watching a programme, as providers will not be allowed to bill a rival's customers a higher fee.
The change will not happen right away, though.
