THE WIRELINE business of Ayala-led Globe Telecom, Inc. is investing an additional $50 million this year to build a domestic fiber optic network in Northern Luzon to address demand in the area.
In an ambush interview on the sidelines of the 8th E-Service Conference which ended yesterday, Gil B. Genio, Globe Telecom head of Globe Business and Innove Communications, Inc. chief executive, said the domestic network will be linked to the international network infrastructure that the company is currently setting up as a partner of India’s VSNL International.
Innove Communications is Globe Telecom’s wireless business and will provide the domestic high capacity network in Northern Luzon later in the third quarter this year. > > > [ full story ]
