                    [Summary] => Two more Asian mobile phone companies have joined an alliance of operators that aims to share wireless services among its members.


At a signing ceremony held in Bangkok recently, DTAC (Thailand) and CTM (Macau) became the latest operators to join the association.


The addition of DTAC and CTM brings AMI’s membership to seven operators with a subscriber base of over 30 million in the Asia-Pacific region.  AMI’s five founding operators are CSL (Hong Kong), Maxis (Malaysia), MobileOne (Singapore), Telstra (Australia) and Smart Communications (Philippines).

Opening only last September, the Hub at Rockwell had 45,000 visitors in October alone. The Glorietta Hub (Stall 242-245, Level 2, Glorietta IV) opened in January this year. On day one, the Glorietta Hub made a whopping P80,000 in sales – and the cash registers have since been merrily ringing.


So what makes the Hub so hot?

The sector is suffering from a regional economic downturn, lack of high-impact innovation and a slowdown in Internet and cellular subscriber growth, said Bertrand Bidaud, Gartner regional director for telecommunications research.
