Hours after SMART Chairman Manny V.
Pangilinan announced the #SmartFreeInternet promo, Globe Telecom gives a
statement on the announcement:
“At Globe, we've been working for years to create a wonderful
digital experience for our customers. We have known for some time that the
internet is at the heart of everything in one's digital life. Our customers
know that through our great partnerships with Facebook, Spotify, Google, Viber
and others.
As the telco which pioneered Free
FB for the world, we are flattered and honored that our competitors have chosen
to follow the lead we have set. We wish to thank them
for the compliment and wish them the best of luck. More people on the internet
is good for the Philippines and our ecosystem.
In
the end, customers will choose the telco provider with the best digital
services and the fastest experience possible. Amidst all the hype and
promotions, we are happy in the fact that, at Globe, we deliver both.
We look forward to more vigorous
competition to come! Stay tuned.”
Globe's
free Facebook service, which was launched in October last year, allowed
subscribers to access the social networking site with no data charges.
Facebook
founder Mark Zuckerberg even showcased the promo at the Mobile World Congress
in Barcelona, Spain, citing its partnership with Globe in connecting more
Filipinos to the internet.
