That sucks that Smart bought them out. Wasn’t Smart BRO a result of a buyout of Meridian? (And look how the service is doing now.)

@10 anonymous, are you guys from Proximity handling this? Btw, say hi to Madz for me.

@katexter, thanks for the tip. Would that mean Cure will be using Smart’s cellsites? Or will it put up its own infra from the money Smart is infusing?

We’re an outsource partner of CURE.

According to our coordinator, Smart won’t be interfering with CURE for the time being and will in fact infuse additional capital. A merger won’t be possible anytime soon due to some NTC regulations about the frequencies.

Bleh.. I was hoping for Cure to change the 3G scene, the former VP of operations had a seminar about the company last december and I was really looking forward to some of the services they were planning to offer. Now that SMART’s bought it, the future looks bleak. =_=

Guess this will be a wait and see thing.

Hehe. Don’t turn speculation to facts. Just wait until it’s launched.

I only wish we have Anti-Trust Laws.

They haven’t even started yet and they were bought up. Here’s another, if they chose not to, Smart and Globe (and possibly SUN too) will join forces to keep the new competitor from gaining grounds.

It’s always like that, because we dont have laws against such activities.

@david, yeah, looks like it’s the only value they can get from the acquisition. Is Smart running out of bandwidth though?

Sino ba mga magigiting na lalake at babae behind CURE? Bakit ganun kadali nila binenta business plan nila? Di ba sila nagkaroon ng feasibility study bago binuo ang CURE? parang napakaimposible naman ng ganoong scenario… tsk tsk tsk…

Sayang talaga. I was hoping that because of CURE, yung services ng Smart at Globe dito sa amin eh mas gaganda. Ala rin pala.

Well, back to Jurassic Age na naman in terms of 3G services…

Teka, may Trex sa likod ko! May dalang bill ng postpaid plan ko! Eeeeeekkkkk!

My guess is that they bought the zero-subscriber telco for their bandwidth/frequency spectrum.

Yup, me too. Haba pa naman nung form. *hehehe* Question is, why would the No. 1 Philippine telco buy a zero-subscriber telco? hmmm… investigate.

Smart has bought them up already?! Then what else is new?

Sayang, nagtiyaga pa naman akong mag-fill up nung form sa website nila…tsk tsk

Bummer. Saw that invite. It says “a new telecommunications company”… so it’s nothing new.
