Singtel and Starhub face angry football fans.

HERE'S the score. Going by the figures on two Facebook groups, the number of people boycotting World Cup packages from the two telcos here has gone up.
One group, called Mass Boycott StarHub/SingTel Overpriced World Cup Package,has more than 25,000 members, up from more than 12,000 on May 14.
Said Mr John Chua who created the group: 'Looking at the prices, why did other countries, which also negotiated with Fifa, end up with free World Cup packages, such as England, Australia and Indonesia? Or charge much cheaper - like India at $7 or Japan at $10?' noted Mr Chua who did not want to reveal more about himself.
Another Facebook group is called Boycott Fifa World Cup 2010 Subscription in Singapore. It has drawn 'likes' (meaning approval of the group) from almost 400 people so far.
It was announced earlier that existing subscribers of StarHub and mioTV, who signed up before May 31, would pay $70.62 ($66 plus GST).
After the early-bird offer lapses, the cost is $94.16 ($88 plus GST). The broadcast rights were clinched jointly by the two telcos 35 days before the tournament starts on June 11. Strait Times 29 March 2010

I wonder if the government will step in on this one if things get out of hand.
