They say no building to put the base station.. lol.

After hdb built, need hdb approval to access the roof to install the base station.

This is why no good to stay in brand new hdb estate, infrastructure etc sure haven’t build and stable yet. Stay in old estate best. 😂

[Kb27]

After decades of building new hdb, they should have settled on what needs to be allocated during planning stage.

Telco equipment and towers are not new things.

It's like saying after you build the flats... oh you need electricity... oh now you need sewage pipes to be installed.

Wrong. 

Singtel is the second-largest company by market capitalisation listed on the Singapore Exchange and is majority owned by Temasek Holdings, the investment arm of the Singapore government.

 

M1, a subsidiary of Keppel Ltd., is Singapore’s first digital network operator, providing a suite of communications services, including mobile, fixed line and fibre offerings, to over two million customers.

 

StarHub.

The company was created in 1998 by a consortium led by Singapore Technologies Telemedia, a unit of Singapore's state-owned investment firm Temasek Holdings, as a part of telecommunications market liberalization efforts at the time. StarHub officially launched operations in 2000, and was listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange in 2004. Temasek Holdings is the largest shareholder of StarHub, with a majority stake, followed by Japan's Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT)

I thought the authority has prerequisite requirements on base station and signal strength including fibre points in every household? HDB is exempted?

That is if they manage to get the ERP 2.0 working as envisioned....

Currently I only see a stepback in technology in terms of hardware... ERP 0.8...where we are going back to Nokia phones when iphone 15 already out. 

Don't even get me started on GPS tech.... Even my own gps nav get zero to wonky gps signal when going into tunnels like the KPE and underground carparks...and with upcoming NSC, how are they able to measure the distance travelled?

Even the current generation phone with combined gps+mobile phone signal base station extrapolation, waze/google map is passable at best when underground.
