Maybe he used the wrong word.
He must have ment Oligopolized. As in Oligopoly = Cartel.

I'm on globe. Simple lang naman ang solution nila eh. Why not charge us na lang per kb then unblock all wap sites....PERO BAT NILA MAGAWA GAWA?!?!?!?
Stupid Globe!
Saan ba kasi pwede mag email ng mga complaints? I dont think yung mga CSR nila ay nagfoforaward pag dating sa WAP issues.
Hmmm, i think having free access is still a novelty for me cause at least i get to access email via yahoo and chat via yahoo messenger.
Of course after getting used to browse lots of other useful sites, its a downer but still its free now anyway. If the other sites are that important that you wouldnt mind charges, then why not get a smart or other sim. Dont get me wrong i totally emphatize w/u. just offering an alternative. At least this is an option. Globe is the only one offering free gprs here - though limited as i said, the accessible sites are ok for me. Regarding Globe CSR - Yeah, MOST that ive encountered are useless to talk to hehehe. There were a handful who i gained respect for though - efficient and understanding.
I think
www.myglobe.com.ph has a forum that got flooded right by complaints immediately after the blocking of sites hehehe - not sure of the url but its to that form - either walang ph or meron ata.
Peace

more enlightenment!!! kung meron mang nangyayaring 'cartel' that's definitely between globe and smart ONLY.. kawawa naman ang mga SUN subscribers because of that cartel between them.. imagine, globe and smart can already exchange mms, sun is left behind due to this so called cartel.. also, smart and globe tried to stop extelcom in setting up a GSM network and they are successful.. now extelcom is putting up a different but better network, either CDMA2000 or WCDMA...

regarding globe >>> here it is as of now u can access only myglobe wapsite ang the yahoo. i called the globe telecom desk center and they told me that there is no more chance for them to open the other wapsite like sonyericsson esato etc. also the they blocked everything except the two i mentioned. i asked why the smart u will able to access wapsite [wap via gprs] they dont answer me ... unlike the yr 2002 u will able to browse to the address u want so what kind of service the globe telecom have now? their point is if u enter their site they dont charge even u stay i day inside u will be charge only if make a downl;oad i believed on that but how can u enjoy entering wapsite if u can access only two. the smart o nt he other hand is like crocodile charging u even u used gprs papasok pa lang ng site me charge na per minute this network broke the rules that using WAP OVER GPRS >>. U ONLY CHARGE IF U MAKE DOWNLOAD AND NOT FOR THE TIME U ARE INSIDE THE SITE . sun cellular no comment maybe if u r not under the sun u cannot see the wapsite ty

@* i talked to a globe cs (october to november) inquiring about my account regarding international roaming rates. for some odd reason, my bill went up to 32 k (10k na lang p900 na).
these are rates of their international roaming using cingular and t-mobile:
calls from the phillippines to the u.s. (when in roaming)
$0.80+ cents perminute
+ $0.40 cents per minute (globe's flat rate)
12% administrative charges from globe
= $1.34 gross per minute (P55.25) = P75.03
calls from the u.s. to manila (when in roaming)
$1.49 per minute
+ $0.40 cents per minute (globe's flat rate)
12% administrative charges from globe
= $2.12 gross per minute (P55.25) = P117.13
calls within u.s. (when in roaming)
$0.69 cents per minute
+ $0.40 cents per minute (globe's flat rate)
12% administrative charges from globe
= $1.22 gross per minute (P55.25) = P67.40
text messages received and sent $0.25 cents
no wonder.

Tom, don't forget that when roaming, Globe's administrative fee is constant... but they also have no control over what Cingular or T-Mobile (or whoever) is charging you as well.
In the US, you pay for both incoming and outgoing calls.

thats why it's always better to have an open line phone, so that when you travel, you can just buy a local prepaid card
