EasyCall gets NTC nod for Wireles Broadband

EasyCall announced the other day that it was able to get an NTC license to use the 15MHz of spectrum within the 3.4GHz range. This allows the company to offer wireless broadband services.

EasyCall has been offering corporate internet access (DSL, DLL, IDS) for some time now, thru partnerships with various local telcos.

EasyCall is formerly paging company (you guys still remember the pager?) that turned into the telco business. The frequency secured by the company will enable it to offer wireless broadband internet.

Not sure if they’ll expand and offer the service to commercial/residential subscribers but a new broadband provider is always a welcome development.

I miss EasyCall! During the 90’s I am an EasyCall subscriber for 2 years but I switched to PowerPage during the time that pagers are going extinct. I remember that I have an analogue cellphone (Smart) and a pager.

Its good to know that EasyCall is back in business.

sana ibalik yung Beeper/Pager!! Di ko naabutan to eh (i mean I was too young to own/have one) :( tapos imbes na itawag sa operator yung ipe-page mo, ite-text na lang! :D Tapos may naisip pa akong gamit nito.. kunwari di mo gustong i-share yung cellphone# mo, ibigay mo na lang yung pager/beeper number mo.. o di ba? Cell phones and beepers can co-exist?! ;)

Glad to know this. Having more competitors for Globe, Smart and Sun, the better. I really hope Easy Call will have the broadband service available commercially soon.
