The blog didn't have an invite at the recently concluded Wonderful World of Globe 9 happened in a hotel in Pasay City but I got those eyes and ears online as I picked up some info that gave me some interest.
Globe CEO Ernest Cu gave us some updates on the telco including the increase of network capacity which they will fiberize 20,000 barangays, connect 2 million Pinoys by year 2020 and their current number of cell sites at 15,000. Nice fact that he shared that a cell site needs 25 permits and 8 months to build.
The telco also announced the GoWiFi hotspots which are now available in key locations around the country - brings fast WiFi access. They also officially unveiled the availability of Youtube Accelerator which I'm proud to reveal that I tested it as early as October 2015. This feature allows you to watch Youtube videos without buffering. As I tested it, I only experienced it in some videos from tech-related channels like in Pocketnow and Android Authority. Boy, it was a pleasure to watch video reviews during my test and now you can experience it too.
And the reveal of Disney Mobile which is available in Globe MyStarter Plan as low as Php 750/month. Disney Mobile made it possible with the help of Cellprime which is currently bringing Cloudfone, Gionee and Hyundai phones. Disney Mobile phones will have dual SIM, LTE, 5 inch HD display, 13 MP rear cam with flash, 5 MP front cam and 1.2 GHz quad-core processor.
