Demand for knowledge is expected to continue at a torrid rate for the remainder of 2020 as the Philippines moves towards a “new normal,” Globe Telecom’s senior official said Monday.
Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu said the resulting blockades amid the 2019 coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) would continue to force many sectors of the country to provide their businesses and workers with reliable Internet access.
“Data remains positive for businesses, as demand remains strong and growing. Especially in this time of pandemic, Internet access serves as a lifeline for many Filipinos. People use the Internet to paint from home, do business, make bills and browse at home, among other things. We hope this trend will continue for the rest of the year,” he said on a Monday.
For Globe, call for has boosted its cellular knowledge traffic to 45% building up to 1106 petabytes, expanding its cellular knowledge revenues to 35. 8 billion pesos in the first half.
His domestic broadband also won a Covid-19 kick, re accounting for 12. 5 billion pesos, 19% more than the 10. 6 billion pesos recorded last year.
He finished the semester with 2. 9 million broadband subscribers at home and expects this number to increase more “as more families prepare to paint and report from home, and others are expected to follow the reopening of public schools in October. “
“This segment is largely wasted, so there are many families to connect. We look forward to fulfilling this call with our competitive network deployed at this time of year not only in urban spaces but also in provinces across the country,” Cu said.
