The news the other day is a little welcome surprise — San Miguel Corp. is entering the broadband internet and mobile telecoms market.
According to reports from AFP, San Miguel will be doing joint venture with Qatar Telecom in introducing internet and mobile services in the country.
It’s not known yet how much controlling share San Miguel has in this venture or what the name of the new brand will be. We’ll probably know by 2009. I reckon San Miguel could easily become a major player since it’s a huge conglomerate and already has a good hold of the local market in the Philippines with visible brands in food, beverages, liquor and dairy products.
It’s a welcome news as we all get more competing services in the mobile and broadband market.

San Miguel and Qtel.. should put up 4000 cellsite overnight to compete in the market competitively

Actually I have a unit. The first time I got connected I said to myself “Hmm not bad for a wireless broadband”, but a week later the phrase “not bad” turns to “bad”… latency was aweful, got 3 bars signal, and from the 2nd-3rd hop the average was 400-1000.. and to think I did a traceroute on a local website.. geezz, I hope they will do something about it, and I’m happy it’s still free…
I’m talking dial up speeds, transfer rate right now is 3-5kBps.. hehe at least I had a good laugh..
they say there is a cap of 6 gb monthly. and if you use up that amount, your speed will be reduced to 256mbps ONLY. maybe thats what happened to ecazeko.
