SG BBOM To Make Reappearance

SG BBOM, the free app that enables iPhone users to track their data usage on Singtel's network, will be making a reappearance in the App Store under a new name -- ST BBOM.

In September, developer Mugunth Kumar pulled the app after a disagreement with SingTel. Since then, two other apps have been released on the App Store to enable users to track their data usage, iBBOM and Singtel Data Usage.

Late Wednesday evening, Kumar tweeted that he had just submitted SG BBOM to the App Store for Apple's approval. When queried by iMerlion, Kumar confirmed that the app would be available soon and had been renamed, but he said he was not able to reveal more details. However, he did subsequently tweet that it had been submitted using Singtel's App Zone, suggesting that there has been a rapproachment between Kumar and Singtel.

As soon as we hear more, we will update this story.

I'll update my site and keep you posted. As of now, I exactly don't know what all are covered under NDA.
