Singapore_s telecommunications regulator has ruled that a scheme by leading Internet service provider (ISP) SingNet that absorbs the telephone call costs of subscribers is not unfair.

Competitors Pacific Internet ltd and CyberWay lodged a complaint with the Telecommunications Authority of Singapore (TAS), claiming such cross-subsidization was anti-competitive. The TAS spent five months investigating the claims and has now ruled the promotion fair and not predatory. "After an extensive five-month investigation, TAS ascertained that SingNet was not engaging in any unfair practices," said the regulator, in a statement, claiming there was no instance of any cross-subsidization by SingTel of the time-based charges.
