SINGAPORE: Singapore will auction another third-generation (3G) spectrum in November, paving the way for a fourth mobile phone operator in the city-state, the Business Times reported on Tuesday.

The newspaper said details of the auction were published on the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore's website on Friday.

The decision to allow a fourth operator met with strong opposition from the city-state's three mobile phone operators — Singapore Telecommunications, StarHub and M1  — when the idea was mooted in March this year, the paper added.
