I had since begun to feel the effect when Singtel stole Spanish
La Liga way from Starhub. I can't help it but feel like planting a
bomb at Singtel's headquarters!
I am a huge football fan and I love watching the superstars of
La Liga like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. I am a Starhub
Cable TV subscriber for years and just having suddenly something
taken away from you after a long time is like removing part of your
heart. Now I had to rely on laggy football streams on the internet
to get my constant La Liga fix! This is sick to my stomach!
The government cross-carriage law took effect on 1 August 2011
but it had yet to affect the rival Pay TV companies, Singtel and
Starhub and I want to find out why!
Can't anyone see that Starhub is always kind enough to share its
content while Singtel is selfish and possessive? Take Euro 2012 for
example! Starhub had offered to share the content with Singtel
after winning the rights to broadcast the tournment but Singtel
refused to share its London 2012 Olympic content with
Starhub!
You may suggest that I subscribed to both Singtel and Starhub so
I get to watch all the football leagues but having 2 set-tops boxes
is going to cost a 'bomb'! The rival companies are simply taking
advantage of us!
I hope the government will one day force both companies to come
together to form a new Pay TV company(eg. Singhub). Doesn't that
sounds nice?
