#fair usage policy

It seems Globe is the only one actively defending the telco's Fair Usage Policy. The controversy broke out last week when Globe started actively enforcing their Fair Usage Policy, sending out text messages to heavy users informing them of the measures implemented once they reach the daily and monthly allocation. The idea of a Fair Use Policy is nothing new and has been enforced, albeit discreetly, by telcos on a case to case basis. Both Smart and Globe have their own version of the Fair Usage Policy for their network services, be it SMS, calls and mobile internet. Of course, these Fair Use Policy has their own specifics on what is acceptable and normal usage. Here's the information we have on both Globe and Smart Fair Use Policy. And based on our research from all 12 or so other countries that we've visited last year and used their mobile internet, ALL of them have these Fair Use Policy.
