Rio said in a mobile message the performance bond of Dito was part of the selection process for a new player that would challenge Globe and PLDT. “Globe and Smart never agreed to post any performance bond since they started operating their mobile networks more than 20 years ago.

NTC Deputy Commissioner Edgardo Cabarios told The Manila Times the DICT might include the proposal to its common tower policy.
