Singaporean might not get to watch World Cup

Singaporean might not get to watch World Cup. What happen?

Both SingTel and StarHub are unwilling to meet the $100m price set by Fifa to grant them broadcasting rights to telecast the 64 World Cup matches played in South Africa. They reasoned that subscribers would have to pay $150, nearly three times as much as what they did for the 2006 World Cup package.

If SingTel and StarHub’s bid to broadcast World Cup soccer matches fails, Singapore will face a total television blackout on the matches from South Africa.
