ABS-CBN have teamed up with Globe Telecom subsidiaries Kroma and 917Ventures to introduce “tradigital” viewing to Filipinos through PIE, which is said to be the country’s first real-time and multi-screen interactive channel that will officially launch in May 2022.

Also, 16 culprits, including third-party contractors of other networks and Globe field technicians, have been convicted for theft and sent to prison.

After successive announcements from local and foreign companies on data center projects in the country, Globe Telecom has joined the "hyperscaler" fray by disclosing on Wednesday, March 2, that it formed of a joint venture partnership with Singapore-based ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) and Ayala Corporation (AC) for the construction of data center projects in the Philippines.

Peter Maquera has been named the new CEO of Microsoft’s local operations. Don Rae will be his replacement at Globe Telecom.

The Eco-SIM cards are made from recycled materials from refrigerators.

With Covid cases surging in NCR, Globe is encouraging the use of digital channels as it informs its customers of service response slowdown.

Globe said it has encountered numerous permitting issues with homeowners associations (HOAs) mainly due to unfounded health risks and aesthetic reasons.

As a result, users of illegal repeaters get boosted signals while others experience poor, interfered or non-existent mobile service, Globe said.

Globe Telecom, which is now slowly transforming into a digital solutions platform from a traditional telco, said it is supporting the upcoming National Vaccination Day through an anti-fake news campaign.

Globe said reducing the spectrum user fees will allow telcos to divert essential resources to much-needed network builds instead of paying expensive fees.
