The crazy world of rolling out the last mile of fibre to the home by OpenNet. This is the dream of IDA to enable high speed internet access for the consumer. This is something I support, faster streaming of videos, music etc. The scheduling for the cabling crews to visit each apartment unit in Singapore will drive any sane project manager mad.
So when I saw the OpenNet installation letter at my relatives house, words escape me.
They just moved in to the brand new flat 3 months ago and now they want to install the fibre! Why wasn’t the installation completed before it was occupied? One possibility is the tender to build the flats may pre-date the OpenNet. Yeah right. Now the crews have to manage the occupiers, when 9 months earlier would have been a walk in the park.
More telling is the inability of HDB and IDA to work together.
