Yes, I believe this is only testing/demo. The frequencies assigned to them is for testing/demo purposes and the NTC will only award licenses next year. So until them, no commercial service

3G is an
ITU standard specification and the new
EDGE air interface has been develop specifically to meet the bandwidth needs of 3G.
3G will work over wireless air interface such as GSM, TDMA, and CDMA.

The status of EDGE as to if it is 2G or 3G depends on implementation. While Class 3 and below EDGE devices clearly are not 3G, class 4 and above devices perform at a higher bandwidth than other technologies conventionally considered as 3G (such as 1xRTT). With a maximum bandwidth of 230k at Class 10, EDGE transcends both common 2G and 3G definitions.
Now going back to the topic (EDGE in the Philippines), actual results would reflect a Class 3 and even lower implemntation of both Globe and Smart and therefore not yet considered as 3G (at least here in the Philippines).
