Yesterday, PLDT and Intel held a joint event to present a partnership for the PLDT WiFi Zone and the Intel-powered ultrabooks. The PLDT WiFi Zone was first introduced sometime in December with regional pocket launches in Cebu (during Sinulog) and in Baguio (during Penagbenga). Prior to this, Smart Bro also offered a similar WiFi service called SmartBro WiFly which was a partnership with Airborne Access (a company bought earlier by PLDT). When I asked PLDT representatives if the PLDT WiFi Zone will complement or kill Airborne Acess, they responded by saying that all of the Airborne Access WiFi hotspots will be integrated into the PLDT WiFi Zone. This is the reason why they've managed to put up over 3,500 hotspots all over the country in such a short time. PLDT's strategy with the WiFi Zone is to offer a complimentary service to all Smart and PLDT Subscribers. PLDT MyDSL subscribers will only need to shell out Php150 per month to get the same access. The rates are pretty affordable especially if you're on PLDT MyDSL and if your usual hang-out place has one of them PLDT WiFi Zones.
