Globe strengthens its presence in the global broadband industry with the recent appointment of Darius Delgado, its Chief Commercial Officer, as a Board Member of the World Broadband Association (WBBA). Delgado is the first Filipino in history to sit in the prestigious board.
Established in July 2021 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the WBBA unites industry leaders in broadband and cloud technology to close the digital divide and maximize the social, environmental, and economic benefits of equitable digital access worldwide.
Globe officially joined the WBBA in April 2024 and is one of only three Philippine telecom firms in the association.
With its seat on the board, Globe gains a platform to contribute to global broadband development. It can now engage in key industry discussions and collaborate on solutions that address connectivity gaps and drive sustainable network expansion.
"Being part of the WBBA board enables Globe to collaborate with global industry leaders in shaping the future of broadband and promo. We look forward to contributing insights and innovations that will enhance connectivity and expand access, especially in emerging markets such as the Philippines," said Delgado.
“We’re really thrilled to welcome Globe Telecom into the WBBA Board. It’s a great opportunity for them to join the growing family of #WBBA members, to come together and discuss the challenges and opportunities of Broadband in a fast-changing world,” said Martin Creaner, WBBA Director General.
Through its WBBA membership, Globe’s broadband arm engages in analyst-led executive roundtables that tackle major industry challenges and drive sustainable development through member collaboration.
Globe also actively participates in international digital symposiums to amplify the WBBA’s core messages within the broadband network ecosystem. It may likewise contribute to industry research by producing white papers, blogs, and newsletter content.
As of 2024, nearly 3 billion people remain unconnected, with disparities in broadband speeds and infrastructure continuing to hinder global connectivity.
WBBA aims to address inequalities in broadband access by enabling vertical industry innovation such as fiber, developing effective regulations and policies, and enhancing the end-to-end customer experience. It also works to ensure sustainable service provider returns on investment, build a future-proof network, and promote environmental sustainability.
These goals align with Globe’s efforts to advance broadband accessibility, improve customer experience, and drive digital transformation in the Philippines.
