18 August 2009
The Info-communications Development Authority of Singapore ("IDA") requested for proposals for an Operating Company ("OpCo") to develop the active infrastructure of Singapore's Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network ("Next Gen NBN") on 7 April 2008. The Next Gen NBN shall act as a strategic enabler for Singapore to exploit new economic opportunities in this digital age, through much faster broadband access and higher broadband take-up by households and businesses, leading to greater productivity gains. From this competitive process, StarHub Ltd ("StarHub") was subsequently selected based on its OpCo bid proposal. Under its proposal, StarHub would establish the Next Gen NBN OpCo, called Nucleus Connect Pte Ltd ("Nucleus Connect"), to design, build and operate the active infrastructure.
Pursuant to the requirements under the Next Gen NBN OpCo Request for Proposal (the "RFP"), Nucleus Connect has submitted to IDA for approval, its proposed Model Confidentiality Agreement ("MCA"), non disclosure agreement governing the disclosure of information, as well as the proposed Interconnection Offer ("ICO") for the provision of services to OpCo Qualifying Persons ("OpCo QPs") (i.e., Facilities-Based Operators, Services-Based Operators and Broadcasting licensees exclude class licensees) on the Next Gen NBN. Before IDA grants approval to the proposed MCA and proposed ICO, IDA would like to seek views on the said documents.
