AFTER a thorough assessment, ABS-CBN Convergence deemed its current mobile business model to be financially unsustainable. As a result, ABS-CBN Convergence and Globe Telecom have reached an agreement not to renew their mobile network sharing contract, which expires this year, ABS-CBN said in a statement. All ABS-CBN Mobile prepaid, postpaid and SkyMobi subscribers will continue to enjoy text, call, and data services until Nov. 30. ABS-CBN Corp. and Globe Telecom continue to bank on their competencies and focus on new synergies to serve their customers better, such as the promotional bundling of ABS-CBN TV Plus boxes with Globe At Home prepaid WiFi and making ABS-CBN TV Plus’ KBO (Kapamilya Box Office) and iWantv over-the-top services available to all Globe subscribers. In relation to this, all ABS-CBN Mobile and SKYmobi promo offers will no longer be offered to subscribers effective Oct. 25. (PR)

THREAT. According to a Capitol consultant, the Cebu City Government is threatening to shut down the Cebu North Bus Terminal at the back of SM City Cebu (left) and the Cebu South Bus Terminal along N. Bacalso Ave. for operating without a business permit. The Province, which runs both terminals, maintains that it operates the facilities as a public service for passengers going to the province and vice versa. /
