Dear SQTalkers,
This is virgin jungle for me...doing it without a world cup subscription due to the crazy rates we have to pay either Starhub or SingTel. I blame it more on Singtel for putting in a ridiculous bid for the English Premier league that caused this calamity in the first place. !@#$%^&*.
No more Singtel or Starhub considerations for a mobile set. Will stick still to M1!
Rumoured to be SGD 400 Million for the EPL. Good footballers are now paid obscene pay scales and that will put SQ's pricey R Class to shame. That is about SGD 100 per capita in Singapore to watch the EPL!
Heard that entertainment places are paying close to 3,000 Dollars per TV Set and nearly 5K for a larger screen to telecast the present 2010 world cup.
Naturally FIFA will follow suit with the scent of the money. My friends in Vietnam don't even pay anything.
Managed to catch the free telecast of the opening match. Also glimpses of the Korean - Greek match at a PUB. But it was not the same as watching in the comfort of a home.
The positives are that I don't have to wake up at some ungodly hour at 3 am or 4 am to watch twenty-two boys chasing after the ball with a MIB chasing after them. No more panda eyes at work or waking up the family with my shoutings.
