"It is still too early to say how many phases ' but expansion will take place within the next five years," said Globe president and CEO Gerardo Ablaza Jr., adding that the company's 2G expansion has already reached at least 12 phases.

Rival Smart Communications launched its commercial 3G services on May 1. Meanwhile, Globe first introduced its 3G HSDPA services last March to corporate customers under its "Visibility" brand.
