Broadband Wi-Fi war looms
(June 20, 2005, Manila Standard)
By Chin Wong

JUNE 20, 2005 — A Wi-Fi war is about to break out, bringing broadband Internet services to residential users for as low as P900 a month.
On one side of the war is telecommunications giant Smart Communications Inc., which plans to make its extensive network of cell sites do double duty by beaming Wi-Fi signals to homes.
On the other side is an intriguing upstart, Wi-Fi Ng Bayan, which aims to use novel technology to provide faster and cheaper service, and disperse ownership of the network to hundreds of community entrepreneurs.
Last week, Smart began offering its Wi-Fi service on its Web site, promising residential users up to 128 kilobits per second (kbps), or about twice the speed of dial-up connections for P998 a month, with a promotional rate of P788 during a three-month introductory period.
At the same time, however, Wi-Fi Ng Bayan was setting up its network in six Valle Verde subdivisions in Pasig City, offering residential subscribers a much faster 2 megabits per second (mbps) — about 15 times faster than Smart — for P900 a month. Subscribers get one month free, while the company does stress- testing on the system.
The company is also testing a Voice over Internet Protocol service with Eastern Telecom, which has provided Wi-Fi Ng Bayan with an E1 connection to the Internet for testing. The company also has a service agreement with PCCW Ltd., Hong Kong’s biggest communications provider....more info ....
