PLDT even declared that, if the government would fail to do what PLDT wanted, the government would create an “anti-competitive environment” in the business sector.

"Mobile companies in Singapore use other LTE frequencies— i.e. the 900 mhz, 1800 mhz and 2500 mhz, the very same frequencies cornered by PLDT and Globe.
The telecom sector in Singapore simply plowed back into the business portion of their income over the years to upgrade their Internet service.
That, perhaps, would not be something that we could also say about PLDT, although at the end of the day, inexpensive and fast Internet service would only be a question of upgrading its system.
From what I gathered, the cell sites of PLDT, for instance, are not all equipped for 4G, the latest standard in broadband service.
Both PLDT and Globe admitted they would have to put up more cell sites—tens of thousands more—to upgrade the coverage and the capacity of their Internet services.
Look—in this country your Internet connection would indicate “GPRS” or “3G” or “LTE,” which meant that your network (either PLDT or Globe) still used some outdated technologies. In short, they would have to upgrade.
It was not—never—about the 700 mhz frequency, period."
thanks for the info ... so LTE can also use the other frequency ranges, not just the 700 MHz ... cheers
Boo!
