DITO Telecommunity Expecting To Reach 6M Subscribers By End-2021

DITO Telecommunity was expecting to reach 6 million subscribers by the end of the year 2021.

Telecommunications duopoly challenger DITO Telecommunity was expecting to reach 6 million subscribers by the end of the year 2021.

At a virtual press briefing last Thursday, DITO chief administrative officer Adel Tamano said that the telco recorded about 20,000 new subscribers per day and were hoping that they will reach their three-million mark before the end of September.

According to Tamano, the telco has around 2.6 million subscribers to date.

“We find this very positive. It shows you the appetite of the market for a new player. We are on pace to get around five to six million subscribers by the end of year. That’s our expectation. But that’s not truly our first year of operations, it’s only nine months. If you were to compute for a year, it would be higher than that,” Tamano said.

Tamano also said that the telco’s average monthly revenue per user was currently at PHP 150 to PHP 200. The telco was expanding its network coverage to 53 more areas nationwide this September, bringing the total network coverage to 286 cities and municipalities.
