Globe Telecom and Intel Philippines announced the official rollout of Globe’s commercial WiMAX service in the country.

Wimax is the first 4G solution that meets the exploding demand for high-speed wireless Internet and mobile computing, allowing people to access large amounts of data, from movies to multi-media content.

Globe Consumer Broadband Group Head Menchi Orlina said Globe’s WiMAX service is the company’s attempt to “democratize the Internet” by providing the service in areas where high-speed Internet access is difficult.

Orlina added that Globe will offer from three WiMAX plans: P795/month for 512 kbps Internet only, P995/month for 512 kbps plus landline and P1,295 for 1 Mbps plus landline.

And to demonstrate their confidence, Orlina said “Should you be unhappy with the connection within one month from installation, we’ll give you your money-back, no questions asked.”

Intel vice president and general manager for Asia- Pacific Navin Shenoy said that the deployment of WiMax in the Philippine ushers in 4G (fourth-generation) network, to help bridge the digital divide and bring affordable, high-speed mobile broadband to their citizens.
