| Even
with low income levels, the Philippines mobile sector has a
very high penetration rate. The leading players, Smart and
Globe, are renowned for their service innovation. Filipinos
have long set the global benchmark for the widespread use of mobile
Short Messaging Service (SMS). ”Texting” is a Philippine cultural
trait, yielding the highest SMS usage rates in the world.
The adoption of 3G by the masses has been
relatively meager due to a number of reasons: 3G handsets are too
expensive for the average Pinoy, sparse coverage outside of Metro
Manila, and expensive tariffs for data traffic.
The
VAS market for mobile content and entertainment is strong, and there
are a number of companies developing wireless applications providing
SMS content services. It is rare to find a mobile handset that has not
adopted a java game, 3rd party wallpaper, or ringtones.
