And we thought prepaid was only for mobile phones! It was quite a surprise hearing from the country's main electricity distributor Meralco that they will be offering prepaid kuryente soon (and that's hopefully before the end of the year!) The words are from Meralco VP and chief IT architect (aka CIO) Marthyn Cuan who explained that they will be catering to certain market segments in need of prepaid service. Among these are those who have second homes and "informal settlers" who are not usually able to comply with paper requirements needed to apply for an ... Continue Reading...

Betrayal, buying binges & Bryanboy
Am sure you've already heard about it. Rogue Magazine has an "explosive exposé" (explosé?) on Bryanboy in its September issue.
