Globe subscriber base hits record at 36 million

Globe Telecom’s total mobile subscriber base reached a fresh record high, exceeding 36 million at the end of the first half of 2013, driven by the success of its customizable and value-based product offerings amid rising demand for mobile browsing services.

“The company’s robust revenue growth in the first half was driven by strong performance of all our business segments complemented by the strong subscriber growth during the period, stemming from aggressive acquisitions in both the postpaid and prepaid business,” said Ernest Cu, president and chief executive officer of Globe.
