    I heard Sun is already second in the post-paid business. Globe is 1st in this category. Smart is way ahead in terms of prepaid lines. Bayantel is focusing on data and DSL connections. Their wireless landline service is limited to their service area scheme.

    What happened to Liberty Telecoms?

    I think LIBTEL is under receivership. Dunno about the state of its permits and licenses with the NTC.

    Mukhang the next battle ground of the telecoms is the wireless landline business..


    Anyway, this will benefit the consumers...

    wireless landline ang gulo di ko pa din maintindihan yan pano maging landline eh wala nga physical line

    it's just an excuse by local landline companies to enter the cellphone race

    siguro naman it's high time na tigilan na ang per minute charing sa cellphone, gawin na din fix na lang parang landline para di masyado redundant

    yun nga lang dami siguro magkaka-cancer sa'tin kaka cellphone babad

    [SIZE=2]'Telcos won't lose money with free SMS'[/SIZE]

    Telecommunications companies (telcos) will benefit from the proposal to cut charges on text messaging or short message service (SMS), an official of the Department of Transportation and Communications said Monday.

    "I think the [telecommunications] industry will grow if [text messaging] service will be offered for free," DOTC spokesman Thompson Lantion told ABS-CBN's morning show, "Umagang Kay Ganda."

    Lantion added that the 27 million Filipino cellular phone users who pay for text messaging would surely avail of more telco services if SMS will be offered to the public for free.

    The DOTC official, however, clarified that the proposal to file a petition on removing SMS charges is not yet final. He said the proposal's pros and cons are still being studied by a technical working group formed by Secretary Leandro Mendoza.

    He said another subject of the study is to determine how telcos will maintain its profits in the mobile industry.

    Lantion said initial findings of the group showed that the government is receiving payment from telcos only from their voice or mobile phone call charges.

    He said the proposal will also be presented before the telcos so that they will be able to come up with a better way of cutting SMS charges.

    "All stakeholders should be consulted. The technical working group is seriously looking at all the issues," he said.

    Last week, Mendoza announced before the media that telcos should not charge mobile phone users for text messaging.

    "Carriers should only charge for voice calls because in their franchise, they only pay for voice services," the DOTC secretary said.

    He said DOTC will file the petition before the National Telecommunications Commission.

    Mendoza said he expects "a long battle" with the telcos.[/SIZE]

    If text message becomes free, we might be back to our old mid-90s way of turning the phone outside down or raising it like an antenna to send a text message. hehe. Tapos may mga text na sa susunod na araw ng dumarating.

    ^ hindi lang yan. gaya ng sinabi ng attorney ng globe, they may stop offering sms / text service altogether. baka lumabas mataas pa ang operating cost sa kikitain nila considering our rates is already one of the lowest. lahat tawag na lang.
