This Internet start-up stayed at home

Article Abstract:

The article profiles MediaRing.com, a Singapore-based Internet company which became the first unprofitable firm to be listed after the Stock Exchange of Singapore decided to allow entry to companies with high-growth potential, even if they had not yet made a profit. This news will probably encourage other Singapore start-ups to seek funding locally rather than migrate to the Nasdaq Stock Market or high-tech regional exchanges.
