For many, it was quite a surprise that PLDT was selling off Smart and Sun Cellular towers to 3rd-party tower companies. The move seemed a bit off considering that, for the past several years, one of the biggest problems why mobile connectivity is still a huge concern among consumers in the Philippines and that is because the number of cell towers isn't enough to properly cover the entire archipelago. PLDT included in the sale agreement that they will be leasing these very same cell towers from the new owners. Leasing cell towers can be less expensive in the long run since there will be no more maintenance costs associated with exclusively operating one. Combining self-operated and leased cell towers can fast-track the network expansion.
