Globe Telecom, a telecom service provider in the Philippines, has posted mobile data revenue of P4.4 billion in the first quarter of 2015.
Globe mobile data revenues grew by 58 percent from previous year’s P2.8 billion and by 8 percent from previous quarter’s P4.1 billion, as of March 2015.
Combined mobile Internet revenues of Smart and Sun have increased by 19 percent to P2.2 billion in the first quarter from P1.9 billion in the same period last year.
Globe Telecom has partnered with Google, Facebook, Viber, Spotify, NBA, HOOQ, and WhatsApp to seed mobile data adoption among its customers.
With its comprehensive and multi-year collaboration with The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia, Globe Telecom is enhancing the Filipino digital lifestyle experience.
The collaboration will provide video-on-demand, interactive content, promotions and other related services across multiple devices to Filipino customers.
Additionally, Globe customers will soon have access to an array of Disney content offerings, including long- and short-form programming, interactive content and games, theatrical releases and retail promotions.
Company officials give credit to network experience with 100 percent 3G and 4G HSPA+ nationwide coverage as well as the increasing pervasiveness of its LTE network around the country for its performance.
Also, Globe is activating more cell sites with the LTE-TDD and LTE-FDD ultra broadband access technologies for a more pervasive LTE coverage nationwide to enhance its wireless network infrastructure.
