IDA has received requests from the industry to extend the deadline for the submission of comments to the Proposed Establishment of a Data Centre Park in Singapore. The deadline shall be extended and all responses must now be submitted to IDA by 12 noon (Singapore time) on

Introduction

The Info-communications Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) proposes to establish a DCP to strengthen Singapore's position as an economic and infocomm hub.

Objectives

The development of a DCP in Singapore will strengthen Singapore's position as an economic hub by attracting MNCs and enterprises to set up their HQ and premium DC operations here. It will also help to entrench Singapore as an infocomm and media hub by having more premium DCs such as banks and Telco carriers located here. Such DC infrastructure will attract world-class Internet and media companies to host their content and services in Singapore, thus attracting more Internet traffic and international network providers. Ultimately, this will enhance Singapore's global connectivity and competitiveness.

IDA would like to invite interested parties to provide their views and comments covering

  1. Ownership and operating structure for the DCP
  2. Business Model of DCP
  3. Technical Specifications for the DCP

and submit written feedback and comments on the proposed DCP.
