Nagsimula na ng operasyon ang DITO Telecommunity Corporation bilang pangatlong telecommunication provider sa bansa ngayong araw, Marso 8.

Ayon kay Chief Administrative Officer Adel Tamano, labinglimang bayan pa lamang sa Metro Cebu at Metro Davao ang nasasakop ng kanilang serbisyo, habang sa Metro Manila naman ay ilang linggo pa umano ang kailangang hintayin bago sila makapagbigay-serbisyo.

Aniya, "The answer that we will tell you is we will be here in NCR in a few weeks. Medyo maghintay-hintay lang, Dito will be in NCR very soon."

Kaugnay nito, sinimulan na rin nila ang pagbebenta sa mga SIM cards na may prefixes digits na 0991, 0992, 0993, 0994, 0898, 089, 0896, at 0895.

Magsisimula na ang DITO Telecommunity Corporation bilang pangatlong telecommunication provider sa bansa ngayong darating na ika-8 ng Marso sa mahigit labing-pitong bayan at munisipalidad ng Visayas at Mindanao.

Base sa unang technical audit na isinagawa ng gobyerno, pumasa ang DITO Telecom matapos makapagtala ng minimum average broadband speed na 85.9 Mbps para sa 4G at 507.5 Mbps naman para sa 5G.

Paliwanag ng DITO chief administrative officer na si Adel Tamano sa isang virtual press conference noong Martes, Pebrero 23, “It’s a phased launch. We are going to first start in Mindanao. There’s a sentimental reason for that, if you recall before DITO became DITO, we were the Mindanao Islamic Telephone Company (MISLATEL). It was actually set up to serve the underserved areas in Mindanao. We thought it fitting to start there.”

Kasabay nu’n ay nang ihayag ang ‘interconnection deal’ sa pagitan ng DITO at PLDT na may layuning makapagpatayo ng transmission facility na magsisilbing point of interconnection para sa mga konsumer nila.

“Being chosen as the country’s third player, DITO knew from day 1 that in order for us to deliver our commitment to the Filipino, we needed to work hand-in-hand with the pioneers of the telco industry like PLDT. I’d like to express my gratitude to everyone in making the interconnection agreement between DITO and PLDT possible,” pahayag naman ni DITO Telecommunity Chairman and CEO Dennis Uy.

Sisimulan na rin ng DITO ang pagbebenta ng sim cards at ang mga sumusunod na numero ay ang magiging prefixes digits ng kanilang subscribers: 0991, 0992, 0993, 0994, 0898, 089, 0896, at 0895.
