Mislatel consortium has been officially declared Philippines’ new major player in the public telecommunications market after the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) En Banc issued its confirmation order on 19 November. The Mislatel consortium comprises Udenna, Chelsea, and China Telecom.
Mislatel passed the Document Verification Phase conducted by the NMP Selection Committee that merited them for the final confirmation from the NTC En Banc. Out of the three aspirants, Mislatel was the lone qualified bidder that passed the evaluation procedures en route to being declared as the provisional major player title on 7 November. The Motion for Reconsideration of the two disqualified bidders, Sear Telecom and PT&T, were both denied by the Selection Committee.
Mislatel commits to deliver 27 Mbps of minimum average broadband speed on its first year before increasing to 55 Mbps in the next four years. The operator also plans to serve 84.01 percent of the Philippines’ population before the end of its 5-year commitment period.
