MANILA, Philippines - The enterprise solutions arm of Sky Cable Corp. has rolled out a new broadband plan targeted for home-based businesses or start-ups. 

In a statement, SkyBiz said it launched HomeBiz 1899, a broadband plan to cater to the needs of micro-entrepreneurs.

 “We are excited about this product as it is specially created for the home-based business segment. This is a growing sector that can further be boosted with the right digital connectivity, enablers, and support,” said Rina de Guzman, head of SkyBiz micro, small and medium enterprises business unit.
