                    [Summary] => PLDT, Smart, Globe, Digitel or Bayantel may be big by RP standards. But they’re just as small as dozens of state-wide telephone companies in the US, with a few million dollars capital each. Only two US telcos can be called giants: AT&T and WorldCom. AT&T may no longer be the "Mother Bell" of the ’60s, having been forced by antitrust suits to let go of noncore operating units. Still, it’s a multibillion-dollar colossus whose shadow covers wide swaths of the East and West Coasts.
