Qalaa.net is one of the ISPs…If Im not wrong they are currently in negotiations with several service providers. M1 should be launching their services soon. Dont worry, they definately will launch by June.

if i'm not wrong, it has something to do with the WiMax licences that iDA has issued in oct last year.

1. inter-Touch Holdings
2. MobileOne
3. Pacific Internet
4. Qala Singapore
5. Singapore Telecom Mobile
6. StarHub

additionally, m1 is launching 3.5G soon, which promise speeds of up to 3.6mbps for mobile phone. however, phone support is not there yet, and it is not related to WiMax.

power-line communications (PLC)? nopes, even though a 2.2mbps line was possible, singapore power didn’t offer it cos it didn’t want to branch into telecommunications, and there are many other viable broadband systems available.
