Globe Telecom Inc. said Thursday it is in talks with five home owners associations to build cell sites in their respective exclusive villages.
The HOAs that immediately conveyed their willingness to help Globe to roll out cell sites are Magallanes, Bel-Air, Greenhills North, Ayala Alabang and Hillsborough.
Globe general counsel Froilan Castelo said representatives of the company were now in talks with the HOAs about the telecommunications infrastructure needed for their respective villages.
“We are confident that the HOAs will consider the benefits of a connected community in this digital age over the myths of health risks,” Castelo said.
Globe recently issued an open letter to customers residing in exclusive villages that it was unable to provide sufficient mobile and internet coverage in their homes due to continuing challenges in securing the necessary permits and right-of-way approval from HOAs and/or barangays.
Meanwhile, the homeowners in Dasmariñas Village voted to retain the Outdoor Distributed Antenna System inside their subdivision lon April 2 five days after Globe issued the open letter.
