                    [Summary] => Barely 15 months in the market, Touch Mobile has already evolved into the country’s fastest growing GSM brand preferred by Filipino families, particularly in the suburbs outside Metro Manila where it has opened numerous cell sites.


Since its launch in September 2001, Touch Mobile has opened more than 2,000 cell sites nationwide with more scheduled to roll out this year. It is now the third largest GSM brand in terms of incremental subscribers uptake.

                    [Summary] => Ayala-owned Globe Telecom expects to post a P1-billion net income during the third quarter of this year, despite an asset write-off of around P2.2 billion resulting from the shutting down of part of its subsidiary Isla Communications‚ network.


Company officials yesterday announced that the wireless networks of Globe Telecom and Islacom have been operationally integrated, a move that is projected to save the former around P1.5 billion in capital expenditures and P600 million every year in cash operating expenses.

                    [Summary] => Isla Communications Co. (Islacom) has joined hands with Globe Telecom in offering Globelines Prepaid service in the Visayas region.


Globelines Prepaid, which Globe started pre-selling in its Metro Manila and Southern Luzon service areas last month, provides a highly-competitive pricing package that is expected to boost the company’s fixed line subscriber numbers and make phone services more affordable.


For the Visayas, Globelines Prepaid is initially available in Bacolod even as other Islacom service areas are expected to follow in the next few months.
