Japan’s NTT DoCoMo and Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) are planning to buy additional stake in Taiwan’s third largest mobile operator, FarEasTone Telecommunications (FET). The move will enable them to assign a member on FET’s board. An FET shareholder needs at least 7-8 per cent stake to join the company’s board of directors. NTT DoCoMo and SingTel presently hold 4.9 per cent and 3.98 per cent stake respectively.
