In a few days after Netflix’s announcement<\/a>, StarHub joined another telco<\/a> to bring Netflix on their network. At this moment, we are not sure what StarHub will offer to their customers. Singtel offers\u00a0up to nine months\u2019 worth of complimentary Netflix subscriptions with conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

In my opinion, unless the offer is really interesting, why would another one wants to tie Netflix\u00a0to its service\u00a0that is almost like a competitor. It makes no sense because\u00a0Netflix’s current model is fuss-free and simple. Like it, pay it. Don’t like it, stop it. No contract to tie you down.<\/p>\n

I would not want to speculate what StarHub might offer at the moment. Let’s wait for the official announcement.<\/p>\n

Singapore, 17 January 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>StarHub and Netflix today announced a partnership that will bring\u00a0Netflix, the world’s leading Internet TV network, to StarHub\u2019s Fibre TV customers\u00a0through their set-top boxes by the early second quarter of 2016.
