PLDT and Smart urge industry stakeholders to intensify collaboration to address challenges that persist as the government continues to find ways to streamline permitting processes and fast-track the rollout of telco facilities.

Leading integrated telco network PLDT and its wireless subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc have strengthened their partnership with government this year through continued support for its digitalization initiatives and participation in crafting various telco-related policies.

PLDT and wireless unit Smart have reiterated support for the Government's initiatives to fast-track the rollout of telco and internet facilities across the country, following the issuance of a joint memorandum circular setting the rules and regulations of EO 32.
