hmm. This should be reneamed to PLDT technegosyo something since both options are under PLDT. It will be nice to see different options from other competition: Globe and Bayantel.

if I were going to put up an internet business, I rather go with PLDT’s Biz package rather than with SMart BRO! so inshort the whole show only has one option left.

but atleast it is a good eye opener for future technoprenuers.

Sorry, what options? There are people from Globe (including JAZA himself) and Bayantel. Hardly a PLDT event.
