IIA attends presentation on Singapore’s Next Gen Network

Insight interAsia attended an interesting presentation today arranged by the American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (AmCham), Accenture, and Starhub regarding Singapore’s Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (NGNBN).

The NGNBN is largely underwritten by the Singapore government with $1B. It will be rolled out in three phases and cover 95% of the island by 2013. The domestic Internet and data transfer speeds will then be significantly increased (up to 100Gbpbs).
