Globe is intensifying efforts to work with property owners and developers to eliminate lease fees for in-building telecom solutions and include connectivity infrastructure in the planning stage. The move seeks to lessen operating costs for telcos, foster a more competitive market, and enhance internet accessibility for the public.

Michelle Ora, Globe Vice President and Head for Site Lifecycle Management Services, said Globe continues to champion its zero lease call across different venues, engaging property developers to get them onboard. She again underlined why connectivity should be given the same importance as power and water and readily provided space in buildings and developments.  

“We continue to champion zero lease across different venues and stakeholders. We work closely with our property developer partners through holding workshops, where we talk to them about how to master plan their developments,” Ora said.

“We invite them to work with us at the earliest stage possible so we can integrate telco infra at the onset, even prior to their actual construction. So that when they turnover the property to the resident or the tenant, it is already complete, not just with power and water but also connectivity,” she added.
