Globe Telecom of the Philippines is set to roll out its 3G service after being given its desired 3G frequency in the WCDMA band. In July 2005, Globe had successfully completed its first video calls over its 3G trial network, allowing not only voice but also full-motion realtime videos between two mobile subscribers under the supervision of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), using 3G trial permit and frequencies from NTC. Thereafter, Globe made several successful video calls over the past few months which has culminated in its being awarded the desired 3G licence.
