Singapore aims to become the world leader in ''ultra high-speed broadband networking,'' offering data to the home of at a speed of one gigabit per second, assistant chief executive for infrastructure development for the Infocomm Development Authority (iDA) Khoong Hock Yun said last week. He was speaking at the formal opening of an innovation centre belonging to storage and data management company NetApp, although he didn't give a timeframe for when the ''ultra-band'' net would be rolled out, other than by using the expression ''in a few years.''

Khoong said: ''Yesterday I was advised to create a new category, an ultra-high speed wired broadband network.'' This would be a category which Singapore could be No. 1 in, he said.

Later during his address at the unveiling of NetApp's innovation centre in downtown Singapore the iDA executive noted how an ultra-broadband network offering one-gigabit to the home would mean that any remote storage would be as good as local storage.
