Local peering is available with SGIX (http://www.sgix.sg)
It’s beginning to pick up momentum, Amazon, Voxel etc onboard.

The peering situation is actually quite interesting. Singapore has become a local hub for indian, indonesian, malaysian telcos to peer. Newcomers to the NSP/ISP singapore scene also peer easily with a very straightforward policy, but most of the eye balls are still with starhub/singtel and backwards peering policies. But that’s because a fat part of their network is paid and by consumers and by content providers. The only real hope, a shift in eyeballs – singtel policies on peering in singapore seem written in stone.

It’s also possible, don’t forget, that the prohibition on residential users running servers is imposed or encouraged by the authorities. Self-censorship works best on businesses (like SPH) because commercial interests are paramount. Individual-owned servers may not respond as well to that, which would force Singov to deal with the fallout from ordering telcos to pull the plug.
