Bidshot Wireless Services and Chikka, sister companies who both
provide a suite of mobile SMS Value Added Services via Globe and
Smart, have currently been embroiled in a major investigation in
Globe Telecom. Issues revolving around both companies include some
supposed tampering of a particular promotion's results, plus
accusations that they were getting preferential treatment by Globe's
Wireless Development Group for a number of projects. A number of
familiar names are under fire right now in Globe's Wireless
Development Group. Word has it that Chikka and Bidshot will slowly
be eased out of the said Telco's network as a result of this debacle.

To confirm the above news, check with your own contacts at Globe's
Wireless Development Group.

Hmm... sounds like a plot against BidShot and Chikka!

But seriuosly, whoever posted this was mis-informed. It was true that there was an issue regarding a promo - the winner was disqualified because he did not follow the promo rules. He was promptly disqualified.

As for Globe giving BidShot and Chikka 'special' treatment, nothing can be farther from the truth. Globe has always had strict guidelines on granting projects to them... I for one have witnessed Globe turn down many projects for them in favor of the others. If the claim was true, BidShot and Chikka should be their number one WASPs... which they aren't.
