Telco space in property developments?

The telco earlier said top officials from ASEANA Holdings, Inc., Cebu Landmasters, Inc., Robinsons Land Corp., and Victor Consunji Development Corp. "have committed to supporting Globe’s quest for immediate and reliable connectivity in housing developments, from condominiums to villages."

Globe said it currently has 18 property developer partners, with 200 developments covering about 100,000 units.

What we envision is when a customer steps into a property, he is ready to connect just like electricity and water are readily available. And it’s great we’ve gotten this far in terms of our existing partner developers, because like Globe, they are also customer-centric. We are no longer just talking to a blank wall, Globe President and Chief Executive Officer Ernest L. Cu said.

The Department of Information and Communications Technology also expressed its support for a bill seeking to set standards for telco integration in residential projects.

Isabela 6th District Representative Faustino “Inno” A. Dy V also said he would refile the House bill, which proposes to require property developers to set aside telco space for operators.
