There is another Uniquely Singapore phenomenon called En Bloc Sales where 80% of your neighbours could sell your home despite your strenuous but futile objections if you live in "air space" of 10 years old or more. If your "air space" is less than 10 years old, no problem, man - it just takes another 10% more of your ugly neighbours to take away your ceiling. Technically, you could move in today and 90% of your neighbours could agree to sell your nest tomorrow! Property is about 3 things: Location, Location and Location. The witless like to think that they have reaped an en bloc windfall. Despite being the cabbage-heads that they are, these people rarely break wind even when they realize that the replacement cost of the redevelopment at their old en bloc site is 70%-200% of their prized collective sales proceeds!

Three local wireless operators are currently deploying a free wireless broadband network with access speeds of up to 512kbps that is planned to be available in most public areas. As in the original announcement of the Wireless@SG project, the targeted users of the network in Singapore are people on-the-go who require wireless broadband access while away from their homes, schools and offices.
