  • 3.4 Philippines Telecommunications
    3.4 Philippines Telecommunications Telecommunications Regulations Existing Humanitarian Telecoms Systems Internet Service Providers (ISPs) Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) The Philippines has an advanced mobile market when compared to other similar countries. The Philippine Long-Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) and Globe Telecom are the two major telecommunication carriers in the country. The current Philippine cellular infrastructure is Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). 4G service was made available in 2010, access to 4G services are above 70% for both all over the country with more than 80% in the main town. SMART (PLDT) and Globe launched long-term evolution (LTE) networks in 2012.PLDT has an existing digital fibre optic, and a digital microwave radio system connecting the entire country. Globe Telecom has fibre optic cables and was the first to offer Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax). The bulk of the fixed services are in urban areas. In contrast, the fixed line market in the Philippines remains underdeveloped and fixed line penetration continues to show stagnant growth. A major reason for this is due to the dominance of the mobile segment and the rapid expansion of the mobile broadband segment. PLDT has continued to be the Philippines’ dominant fixed- line provider. However, in recent years, Globe Telecom has been pushing hard to overhaul the incumbent and now is the leading mobile provider in term of overall subscribers. It’s very easy buying a mobile number in the Philippines, you can choose between prepaid and post-pay contracts. The main mobile service providers in the country are Smart and Globe and you can get information on rates, contract types, fees and offers by visiting operator’s websites.

  • Community Cellular Networks: an Experimental Evaluation in the Philippines Pre-Analysis Plan∗
    Community Cellular Networks: An Experimental Evaluation in the Philippines Pre-analysis Plan∗ Joshua Blumenstocky Niall Kelehery Arman Rezaeez Erin Troland§ August 7, 2019 Abstract Despite the rapid expansion of mobile coverage in the developing world, roughly 10% of the world’s population still lives beyond the reach of a cell tower and all of the platforms, products, and services that cell towers make possible. This study investigates the impact of a new type of cellular connectivity designed specifically to address the “last mile” problem: the Community Cellular Network. Built on open-source technology first developed by researchers at UC Berkeley, the Community Cellular Network provides community-owned cellular infrastructure at one-tenth of the cost of traditional mobile towers. Our goal is to develop a deeper understanding of the social and economic impacts of first-time access to a cellular network in isolated communities in the Philippines. We use a two-stage randomized control trial in which we (i) randomly assign villages to receive or not receive a new cellphone tower; and (ii) within treated villages, randomize the price that households paid to access these networks. This pre-analysis plan describes how we plan to study the impacts of cellular access on social network structure, and several social and economic outcomes. ∗We are grateful to the following partners for project implemenation: Innovations for Poverty Action, University of the Philippines Diliman, and University of Washington. This project was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, NetHope, USAID, the Center for Effective Global Action, and University of California Berkeley Hellman Fellows Fund.
