PICK Network, the government-owned entity that will operate Singapore's upcoming parcel locker network, was not created to stifle competition among private-sector parcel locker operators, Senior Minister of State for Communications and Information Sim Ann told Parliament on Monday.
Formed last July, Pick is a subsidiary of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). It will deploy, own and operate 1,000 parcel locker stations in areas such as HDB estates, public-transport nodes, and community centres and clubs.
