SINGAPORE is the most expensive place regionally to catch the World Cup 2010 matches live on television. All 64 matches are free in Indonesia and Thailand, cost $28.70 in Malaysia and $52 in Hong Kong.
The Republic tops the list with a fee of between $71 and $94.
Most fans whom The Straits Times spoke to are unhappy over the prices being charged by SingTel and StarHub, despite their relief that a deal with Fifa was finally signed yesterday.
Some said they had hoped that by having two pay TV operators, costs would be reduced through competition.
'The trouble all started when SingTel bid such a high amount for the rights to the English Premier League. Why should viewers suffer?'
