Philippine PowerLines, Battle of the GIANTS!

PowerLines is becoming a battle of the giants in the Philippine Telecommunications business. PLDT having a significant control of subscriber in wireless and landbase communication is taking control of giant electrict company. And talks is cerculating that Ayala Corporation wants a piece of Lopezes’ EDC.

Just recently, PLDT took control of MERALCO, the biggest electric company in the Philippines. The aquisition by the giant communication company seems divergent in short term. Is it? Yes! But it is convergent in long term. The same is true for the Ayala Corporation. What really is the reason why these two companies are into "Electric Rush"? Well, as I said "PowerLines".

"PowerLines" is a new technology for carrying data using the conductor used in the electric power transmission. This is a new technology that an internet service and telecommunications provider must have. Simply plug your lines in the electric outlet then you have the telephone or broadband internet service! Isn't it great? Yes! But not for PLDT and Ayala. It's still a battle.

PLDT is controlling the reservoir but Ayala is getting the source. Who will win? Is it the source or the reservoir? For me, it's a deadlock.
