                    [Summary] => Barely 15 months in the market, Touch Mobile has already evolved into the country’s fastest growing GSM brand preferred by Filipino families, particularly in the suburbs outside Metro Manila where it has opened numerous cell sites.

                    [Summary] => Ayala-owned Globe Telecom expects to post a P1-billion net income during the third quarter of this year, despite an asset write-off of around P2.2 billion resulting from the shutting down of part of its subsidiary Isla Communications‚ network.


Company officials yesterday announced that the wireless networks of Globe Telecom and Islacom have been operationally integrated, a move that is projected to save the former around P1.5 billion in capital expenditures and P600 million every year in cash operating expenses.
