Globe's less than exciting WIMAX service
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Globe Telecom and Intel have rolled out the first commercial WIMAX service in the Philippines. This is something we have been waiting for, for more than two years. But the application of the WIMAX service is dissapointing.
Unfortuantely, Globe's WIMAX is intended to be used at a fixed point, like Smart Bro... Basically, wireless but not mobile. This still leaves Globe's HSDPA Visibility/Tatoo as the mobile solution.

My comment from Philippine Communication News is that this service seems to be geared to complete against SMART Bro rather than use on cell phones and many high end cell phones have wimax and wifi and this would be a valuable unserved market in contrast to the 3G widgets. Globe should look for the wimax customers who want it on their cell month on a unlimited monthly plan too.
