for its joint Internet venture in the Philippines, Globe has issued a press statement calling for the distribution of 700 Mhz band held by SMC. "This new development about Telstra ending its plan of entering the Philippine market doesn’t change anything as regards to our business direction. At present, the Philippines is one of two remaining countries in Asia Pacific with pending issues that prevent the utilization of the 700 Mhz frequency." -- GLOBE Globe and PLDT are the two companies that have been calling for the government to distribute that unused 700 Mhz frequency in favor of active telcos. According to Globe's press statement released in November 2015, SMC holds 90 Mhz out of the total 100 Mhz on the 700 Mhz band. So it's not a surprise that Globe Telecom has dropped its Globe Visibility Mobile Prepaid kit down to just Php3,500. Globe started offering their new prepaid and postpaid plans for Visibility back in June 23 when we first reported it here. Disclosure: Both Globe Visibility and SmartBro 3G is an advertiser on this blog. People have been asking that since Globe Visibility has obviously moved into the flat prepaid and tiered postpaid models, what will happen to subscribers who are on the GV Unlimited plans?
