PDLT – dominant fixed
line and mobile provider
Telecom
sector in the Philippines has witnessed considerable investment and business
activity since deregulation, the market has consistently fall short of its full
potential. Despite, there certainly has been a lot of activity, with the market
often finding a different direction from what was envisaged. Despite
competition from novel carriers and mobile operators, PLDT has continued to be
the Philippines’ major fixed-line and mobile provider and also has been a large
part of the momentum in the country’s telecom market. Nevertheless, PLDT’s role
has not gone untapped and lately Globe Telecom in particular has been pushing
hard to overhaul the incumbent.
Mobile Penetration
The
country’s mobile market has been specifically active for some years, for
example, running on what could only be described as a genuine revolution in the
development of SMS as an effective communications service. Even more
significant ultimately has been the recent expansion in broadband. Broadband is
finally building a healthy subscriber base, elevated by the considerable
presence of mobile services in the mix of the various broadband platforms
delivering internet access. There has also been good progress in the rollout of
optical fibre infrastructure, although not on the national scale envisaged. In
the meantime, the larger operators are building IP-based Next Generation
Networks. Whilst the global financial problems presented some real challenges
for the local telecom market, the negative impact seemed to have been put well
behind now.
Major Developments
- PLDT introduced a quad-play
service, bundling a mobile package with its voice, data and fibre
services.
- Globe Telecoms successfully
integrated its recently-acquired Bayan Telecommunications subsidiary into
its operations.
- NTC approved a network sharing
deal between Globe Telecom and ABS-CBN Corp;
- The deal was part of ABS-CBN
Corp’s plan to become the country’s ‘third telecom player
- BellTel was making a move to
become the Philippines’ fourth mobile operator after PLDT, Globe and
ABS-CBN Mobile;
