MANILA, Philippines–Philippine Long Distance Corp. (PLDT), the country’s biggest telecommunications company, is offering free mobile internet to its 66 million prepaid subscribers for the next two months, as officials noted that long-term benefits would offset a temporary hit in terms of forgone revenues.
PLDT chair Manuel V. Pangilinan announced on Friday that prepaid subscribers of Smart, Talk ’N Text, and Sun Cellular be provided free internet starting Friday until Nov. 30. The press conference was held days after Pangilinan alluded to a “very important” announcement on his Twitter account.
