Telco Deals

Telcos have always been clamoring for everyone's attention at every tech show. Sitex 2011 is no exception, with M1 and StarHub going all out with its mobile and fibre broadband deals. Unlike the previous three tech shows, expect a much smaller presence from all three telcos. In fact, SingTel has one of the smallest booth space, focusing on fibre broadband deals for its customers.

Without further ado, here's a breakdown of the hottest deals from all three telcos at Sitex 2011.
