The Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) have welcomed the commercial launch of Dito Telecommunity as the country’s third major telco.
The Dennis Uy-owned telco kicked off its services Monday, March 8, offering 4G and 5G SIM cards in selected areas in Metro Cebu and Metro Davao.
In a statement, PCC chair Arsenio Balisacan said the launch of the Dito Telecommunity is a major development in the sector that has been ruled by only two companies for the past long years.
Balisacan said the anti-trust body is expecting that the new telecommunications player will spur competition in the local market that will benefit consumers in terms of better quality of services and prices.
