Looking forward for better dividend in the next few years...
One fellow shareholder suggested quarterly dividend in the AGM, instead of half-yearly. I concur with the idea. Shall we see quarterly dividend in FY2013? I hope so...
Will this lead to higher administrative costs?
Well, there will marginally increase in admin cost, mainly additional announcement expenses of SGXNet IMO
M1 is good at retaining customers.

Yes. We simply cannot live without our precious smartphones......
I guess i am the only "dumb" person still not using a "smart" phone. But every time i think of saving 10+ per month for not having a data plan phone, i dont feel so "dumb" leh.
$10+ to a working adult is really littile imo.

When i lost my way, and manage to find a way out by google map, then i am happy to pay the 10+ dollars
Probably not so, when boss asks to check email when you are on the road.

Why not get a GPS receiver when you are driving? 2 years of saving $10 per month should be sufficient for you to get one. When I am not driving and need directions, i use my mouth to ask cos its free
.
When i retire, i will downgrade my plan further to using pre-paid card.

Because GPS receiver doesn't work globally....or it's more troublesome to update. Also GPS doesn't update you with the latest news on the go, doesn't allow you to trade, check bus timings, locate the cheapest parking, inform you of traffic jams, movie timings etc etc. The extra information that also allows you to make more informed decisions in life is a great leap forward.
Getting slightly out of topic here, but doesn't anyone find SG telcos a little overpriced now? Telstra (Aust) also have a stable customer base and excellent infrastructure... they are also way ahead of their competitors on their home ground and offers >5% yield.
