The Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) revealed its plans to use its recently acquired portion of the 700 MHz band to boost its high-speed Long Term Evolution (LTE) data network. PLDT’s subsidiary Smart Communications will start using the 700 MHz frequency this year as part of the accelerated deployment of its LTE service, said PLDT in a statement on Monday, June 6. PLDT gained access to this and other additional frequencies in a deal involving rival Globe Telecom and San Miguel Corporation (SMC) that was announced last week. The deal was seen by many analysts as closing the door on a potential 3rd telecom player for the foreseeable future.
