To ensure that Filipinos have access to accurate and up-to-date information in the midst of the Covid-19 community quarantine, wireless operators Smart Communications and Globe Telecom have deployed free WiFi connectivity in hospitals and transport hubs.

To help people get correct and up-to-date information on Covid-19, Smart Communications has made access to DOH websites free while Globe and TM customers who subscribed to KonsultaMD may now get in touch with a doctor via the 79880 telehealth hotline without incurring mobile call charges.

The company made the pronouncement as athletes from franchise-based e-sports league The Nationals joined the first 5G-powered e-sports exhibition match held at the PLDT headquarters in Makati City.

Florida-based Syniverse was chosen as the mobile number portability service provider (MNPSP) after a rigorous technical and commercial evaluation process, the telcos revealed.

The city wants to modernize local government services through digitization.

Sibol, the country's first national e-sports team, will make its debut in this year’s Southeast Asian Games which will be hosted by the Philippines.

Smart will be deploying strategically placed Google Stations, as well as QR-based interactive tourism markers, in Intramuros and Rizal Park.

PLM students are among the growing number of tertiary students benefiting from the Google Station service already available in over 100 tertiary schools nationwide.

Mobile metrics firm Opensignal has released its latest report analyzing the mobile network experience of the two operators in the Philippines -- at a national level and across 19 provinces.

The markers contain QR codes and NFC chips that mobile users can scan using their phones to access important details on the heritage of the sites.
