FTTH Expansion

Globe Telecom also said that recognizing the importance of fibre-optic technology, it has deployed approximately 118,000 fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) lines. While this figure represents a decrease compared to the previous year’s rollout, it reflects the company’s strategy of optimizing existing fibre inventory and catering to the underserved prepaid fibre market.

Operational Efficiency and Sustainability

Globe also said it managed its free cash flow generation to achieve operational efficiency and sustainability. As a result, capital spending for the period of January to March was reduced to P 17.6 billion, marking a 16 percent decrease from the same period last year. This reduction aligns with the company’s goal of streamlining expenses while continuing to enhance network capabilities and improve customer experience.
