is not a must....it similar to SCV cable point when they started the island wide cable project back in 1995, lots of enquiry cause it something new to Singapore - pay tv services, so some installed but some don't. Along the way, SCV provided more services such as internet broadband, and it become overwhelming cause it charge a flat rate instead of hourly charges by singtel....so, your questioned is any new services coming up for singtel ?

Now they don't charge you for the first 15metres, next time you want, they charge you 33 bucks every 5metres. Your choice.
