Singapore’s Next Generation National Broadband NetworkIDA’s findings indicate that a next generation broadband network will
contribute to Singapore’s continued economic success. It is also critical for the Next Gen NBN to provide effective open access to downstream operators. This will create a more vibrant and competitive broadband market. As a policy, we have therefore decided to adopt separation between the different levels of the Next Gen NBN to achieve effective open access. The RFP to construct the network will therefore provide for structural separation of the passive network operator from the
downstream operators. If necessary, the government is also prepared to consider legislation to achieve such effective open access for downstream operators in the next generation broadband market.
