OpenNet goes into commercial operation

Nation's optical fibre network company set to offer ultra high speed Next Gen NBN.

OpenNet, the Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network(Next Gen NBN) passive infrastructure operator appointed by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, has announced commencement of commercial operations with immediate effect.

“We are excited and extremely pleased in reaching this important milestone to build the optical fibre network for Singapore’s Next Gen NBN. It represents many months of hard work at OpenNet and we look forward to working closely with Operating Companies and Qualifying Persons in delivering ultra-high bandwidth to the nation,” says Mrs Tan Kah-Rhu, Chief Executive Officer of OpenNet in a statement on Wednesday.

Potential Operating Companies and Qualifying Persons interested in acquiring services from OpenNet can refer to the company’s website – www.opennet.com.sg/our-customers.

The Next Gen NBN is Singapore’s nation-wide ultra-high speed fibre network. It offers broadband speeds that are at least 100 times faster than today’s, to all physical addresses in Singapore, which include homes, businesses, schools, government buildings and hospitals. It will be competitively priced.

To date, the optical fibre cable rollout has already passed through 30% of households and non-residential buildings in Singapore.

OpenNet’s nation-wide ultra-high speed fibre network will soon be a common utility in every household. Consumers in Singapore can look forward to affordable ultra-high bandwidth applications and services in the near future.

Interested homeowners can check whether their premises are ready for home fibre installation via OpenNet Coverage Check portal (rollout.opennet.com.sg). Once their premises are ready for installation, homeowners are strongly encouraged to visit www.opennet.com.sg to make an appointment to take advantage of the free installation.

Online appointment booking not only saves time but also enables homeowners to make appointments in the comfort of their homes, at their own convenient time and with the benefit of instant confirmation. At a glance on their own computer screens, homeowners will know the available time slots to plan their appointment schedules.

Authorised OpenNet contractors will take no more than four hours on average to install the fibre inside the home on the day of installation. As far as possible, OpenNet’s contractors will try to use existing points of entry, existing conduits and surface trunking to minimise any drilling or hacking.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
