Even until today, fiber roll-out in key cities is a bit insufficient to reach every home in the area. This comes after the successful trials of two advanced hybrid fiber technologies namely "GiGa Wire" by KT Corporation (formerly Korea Telecom) and "G.fast." by Huawei Technologies Co. This setup works by connecting structures and houses with fiber optic cables and using special equipment to enable the internal copper wiring of these structures to deliver fiber-like data speeds. Since the majority of the buildings in the country are wired with copper, this will vastly cut cost instead of re-wiring each with fiber optic. “This new initiative is part of our broad effort to make fiber-powered, high-speed connectivity more widely available to the public. Earlier today, Globe Telecom has launched its fiberization of the world's oldest Chinatown that will allow residents and businesses to enjoy up to 1Gbps of internet speeds. In partnership with the local government unit (LGU) of the City of Manila, the telco was able to begin its rollout of fiber optic cables making Binondo as the 1st Globe Connected District. Apart from fiber optics, the telco will also roll out small cell technology around the district to expand the coverage and capacity of their 3G and LTE network.
