Lucent wins Singapore telecom contract NEW YORK, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Lucent Technologies Inc. confirmed Friday that it won a contract to supply a transmission and access network to Singapore's StarHub consortium. StarHub is a joint venture between Singapore Technologies Telemedia, Singapore Power, Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp. and British Telecommunications Plc (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: BT.L) that plans to invest about $1.5 billion in the next seven to 10 years on telecommunications infrastructure. Contracts handed out Friday represent the initial phase of StarHub's investment. The total value of the contracts handed out to all companies Friday is about $202 million, a Lucent spokeswoman said. She added that at StarHub's request Lucent would not reveal the value of its contract, but said it is a significant portion of the initial-phase work. StarHub also gave contracts to Ascend Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:ASND - news), Dutch software firm Cap Gemini and Sweden's Ericsson . StarHub, which won its licenses when the Singapore government recently deregulated the telecom market, is scheduled to start commercial service in April 2000. Lucent said it hopes it will continue work with StarHub beyond the value of the current contract. ''We are extremely pleased to have been selected by StarHub for this very significant project,'' Michael Butcher, Lucent's chief executive of its Asia/Pacific division, said in a statement. ---------- another one from CSCO mkt share, this is a big one. ASND benefits too. Look for CSCO to be down based on this news.
