SingTel forced to cross-carry BPL matches with StarHub.
StarHub said:...
We welcome the decision of the Media Development Authority (MDA) to make the Barclays Premier League subject to the cross-carriage measure.
Singapore viewers are the biggest beneficiaries of this decision and we are excited to be able to bring the BPL to our customers on our reliable network once again.

SingTel said it was "gravely disappointed" with the decision as it disadvantages both consumers and the industry.
Allen Lew, SingTel's country chief officer Singapore, said the company intends to appeal the decision and seek legal recourse if necessary.
He added that the development also means that soccer fans can expect to pay higher prices to watch matches in future.
