Globe expects higher mobile data revenues

Globe Telecom Inc is banking on mobile browsing to sustain revenues in 2014.

“In a market of sustained demand for data solutions and connectivity across different business sectors, we stand to capitalize on this growth opportunity through various products and solutions, including cloud computing,” Globe preside Ernest Cu said in a statement.

In line with its focus on mobile browsing, Globe has partnered with seven popular chat applications providers, namely Viber, FB Messenger, KakaoTalk, WeChat, Gmessage, Whatsapp and Line to bundle with the company’s most popular service offerings.

“These services offerings were designed to engage our subscribers to experience and get into the habit of using mobile data services and early returns on these promotions have been very encouraging,” Cu said.

Along with the above app offerings, Globe also launched new plans for its Tattoo broadband to serve subscribers who browse using other mobile devices.

The Ayala-led telco also is offering the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for as low as P1,799, which comes with unlimited data including consumable amount for calls and texts, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 plus Galaxy gear bundle at Platinum Plan 5,000 over a 24-month contract period.

At end-September, Globe’s mobile data revenues accounted for 56 percent of total mobile service revenues and reached P30 billion for a 17 percent increase from last year’s P25.8 billion.
