Ysc3 Twincharged October 20, 2011 Share October 20, 2011 just received my renewal for newspapers delivery via SPH .... according to the bill, there will be a $2 charge per month for the delivery service, meaning $24 per year. iirc, when we used the direct vendor, there were no such charges right ?? and even during the first year when i switched over to SPH for delivery, there was no such charge also. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? You still subscribe for lousy local newspapers? The only good articles worth reading are the syndicated ones from Financial Times or New York Times. Save your money, stop subscribing to the local crap and just get on the free New York Times website! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged October 20, 2011 Share October 20, 2011 ST circulation now about 360k, has been on a steady decline since 2000's from ~400k. How long did it takes for printed matters to reach 1billion pax? How long did it takes for radio to reach 1billion? How long did it takes for TV to reach 1billion? How long did it takes for Internet to reach 1billion? If that I am not mistaken, printed matters @ 40yrs, radio @ 25yrs, TV @ 12 yrs and internet @ 4 years.
