What's So Great About the NBA-Globe Deal Anyway?

Many Filipino smartphone users are starting to get used to consume their allocated mobile data through Globe's new mobile internet offering GoSurf. One thing I like about this new offering that rolled out last April is its freebies that are well-suited for the digital lifestyle of its customers. And one of the most recent freebies is watching the best basketball players in the world in action through the NBA League Pass.

NBA, the oldest and most popular professional basketball league in the world, has a new partner in the Philippines today. And its name is Globe Telecom. The new multiyear deal between the two factions will bring the NBA closer to more than 45 million Globe subscribers nationwide. And this would complete a milestone year for the league in the Philippines as well.

Maximizing your Smartphone Experience with Globe Prepaid

Smartphones are the new mobile phones, and the most popular among all the smartphones available in the world are those powered by Google's Android. Many Filipino consumers are beginning to buy Android-powered smartphones because of their affordability regarding its pricing and availability despite its specifications. I am willing to buy one of these smartphones. And when I do, I will use my own Globe prepaid SIM to maximize the capabilities of my own Android smartphone.

Globe Telecom has announced last month that its network is not only 100% 3G coverage, but also 4G HSPA+ as well. This will provide high-speed quality mobile internet for more than 42 million prepaid, postpaid, and TM subscribers. It held the distinction of being the first telecommunications company in the Philippines that has fully equipped its cell sites with 3G technology. After learning about it, I decided to give out my own sentiments about it.

Free Mobile Internet Literally Conquers All

On September 26, 2014, PLDT Group chairman and Philippine business tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan surprisingly announced that all subscribers of Smart, Sun Cellular, and Talk n'Text will provide access to the World Wide Web on their Internet-capable mobile phones, more particularly smartphones, for absolutely free. A few days after the said announcement, Globe announced on its Facebook page the return of its highly successful Free Facebook promo, which rolled out last October 5, 2014. It seems that free mobile internet is now becoming a trend in our digital lifestyle since Globe launched the Google Free Zone two years ago. Is it just me, or will this trend continue to invade our shores? Well, regardless of what is happening within these two telecom brands, this will surely benefit many Filipinos owning a smartphone who want to know what is happening around the World Wide Web.

There is no doubt that Smart Communications Inc. and Globe Telecom are the most recognizable brands in the Philippine telecommunications industry. Through the years, these two telecom giants have been providing customers with their own portfolio of products and services suitable to their digital lifestyle. But we also know that these two have been battling in the said industry. Smart has the most number of prepaid subscribers and cell sites scattered all over the country, but Globe has the upper hand regarding postpaid. Aside from groundbreaking postpaid deals, Globe has acquired many postpaid subscribers than those of Smart. Now, these two telecom brands continue to beef up their postpaid services.
