Various local government units (LGUs) have recently approved over 1,000 permit applications from telcos for building cell sites. Apart from welcoming a third telco player, the government also plans to build common telco towers to boost internet connection and add cell sites in the country. The network investment has yielded 1,064 new cell sites, 10,600 mobile sites upgraded to LTE, and 1,887 new 5G sites nationwide. Following the announcement that Globe has activated 380 new 5G cell sites in Q1 2022, the telco has also revealed that it has fired up 252 cell sites in Q1 2022 to improve its coverage and connectivity across the country. For 2022, Globe earmarked PHP 89 billion for its capital expenditures to build new cell sites, upgrade existing sites to 4G/LTE, accelerate the rollout of 5G connectivity, and ramp up the fiberization of Filipino homes nationwide. Sun Cellular will be offering flat rate plans, the only other unlimited 3G plans in the Philippines today (PLDT WeRoam postpaid plans also offer unlimited 3G services, though only for corporate accounts).
