3.47 The Intelligent Nation 2015 Masterplan, estimated to cost $4 billion, is a major step forward in our economic infrastructure. We will make Singapore a centre for creating and commercialising new media technologies, as well as a whole array of digital content and services in areas such as healthcare, education, and games-on-demand. For example, one of our local players, Bridge Mobile, will be distributing ESPN STAR Sports content through mobile devices across Asia, from Singapore. We are already rolling out Wireless@SG which will cover most of Singapore. Industry players are putting forward plans for the new National Broadband Network. The pervasive nature of our IT infrastructure will also encourage any Singaporean to take full advantage of connectivity to the world, or even to create something new and take it to market.
