Calls lasting less than one minute will be charged a flat fee of 16.05 cents.
StarHub was the company that revolutionized the local telecommunication industry by being the first to introduce per second billing and free incoming calls.
The reason cited by them was they decided against increasing their call rates amid rising costs of network maintenance, upgrade and expansion.
This is the same company that has announced their plan to develop an application similar to Whatsapp in a bid to fight off competition and revenue loss as SMS usage rate drops.
The latest decision seems to be another plan to mitigate their loss of revenue as less people are making calls nowadays.
Instead of encouraging people to make calls, they are now punishing people for doing it. Do you think more people will use Whatsapp more often?
Will they ban Whatsapp totally?
