Very soon, the choice need not be between a landline or a mobile phone, a desktop PC or a laptop computer, a PDA or a smartphone, a television or a computer, a game box console or a gaming phone, a stand-alone music player or an MP3 phone but between carriers which could best provide a user-centric broadband experience that brings together all devices, all networks and all types of communication services.

( First part )

Recently, all the papers, at least those that I subscribe to, carried photos of Manny Pangilinan and Tonyboy Cojuangco, PLDT’s CEO and chairman, respectively, at the airport upon arrival from Hong Kong. They had met with NTT who holds a 15 percent equity in PLDT, two board seats and more important than anything else, a right of first refusal, in fact, the swing vote which has given NTT the right to be courted by two camps: the Pangilinan, Cojuangco et. al.

                    [Summary] => Telecom traffic from Europe to the United States, particularly in and around the New York and Washington areas, soared in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on Tuesday.


British Telecom reported US-bound call volume was 60 times higher than normal, while Verizon says its land-line and cellular systems handled twice their normal call volumes. 


"Attempted call traffic hit 60 times the normal peak levels around 5 p.m. yesterday, but quieted down around midnight (London time)," said a British Telecom official.

                    [Summary] => Telecom traffic from Europe to the United States, particularly in and around the New York and Washington areas, soared in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on Tuesday.


British Telecom reported US-bound call volume was 60 times higher than normal, while Verizon says its land-line and cellular systems handled twice their normal call volumes. 


"Attempted call traffic hit 60 times the normal peak levels around 5 p.m. yesterday, but quieted down around midnight (London time)," said a British Telecom official.
