This is great.Hopefully, they have some sort of QoS to ensure everyone has enough bandwidth. I expect that there will be alot of bittorrent users that will hog the bandwidth if not. And of course I also hope that their solution won’t be the typical response of “Sign up and upgrade your plan” because then, it would defeat the entire purpose of a free wireless network. Unless, of course, their main objective all along is to get people attracted and so used to the convenience of wireless surfing that they’d rather pay than not use it at all.

when is it ready?Wireless@SG catchment areas in the north, under Singtel, will be the first to be operational from 1st December 2006.
Speeds are 256kbps (the minimum required), but users may pay $10 per month to enjoy premium speeds at 1mbps, which is what Outdoor Wireless Surf users pay anyway.
SingTel will offer the basic 256kbps service free for 3 years, a year longer than iDA's requirement.

M1 rolls out S'pore-wide wireless broadband service
28 Nov 06
SINGAPORE - Singapore's third-largest mobile phone operator, MobileOne, said on Tuesday it would launch an island-wide wireless broadband service on Dec 6, using its newly upgraded third-generation (3G) mobile network.
MobileOne (M1), of which Telekom Malaysia and Malaysian state investment arm Khazanah Nasional own nearly 30 per cent, said it would use a High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology that provides broadband Internet access anywhere a phone signal is available.
'This signals our intention to be a serious player in the home, office and mobile broadband market,' Neil Montefiore, M1's chief executive officer, told reporters at a briefing.
About 59 per cent of the 1.1 million households in Singapore have broadband access.
M1 said its new service would provide downlink speeds of up to 3.6 megabits per second (mbps) in the central business district -- nearly nine times faster than 3G speeds -- and up to 1.8 mbps in the rest of Singapore. This would rise to 14.4 mbps by end of next year. In contrast, maximum download speeds for 3G are around 384 kilobits per second (kbps).
M1 competes with Singapore Telecommunications and StarHub in Singapore's saturated mobile market, where more than nine out of 10 people own a handset. Unlike SingTel, which derives about three quarters of its revenues from business outside Singapore, M1 is primarily focused on its home market. -- REUTERS
