He said such a decision was “premature, since we don’t know how quickly most Filipinos will be able to register.”
Last week, the DICT warned telco subscribers that they only have around three months to register their SIM cards with their respective telco firm, or until April. He noted that the registration process was mostly online, and “you have some 3 million Filipino mobile users who are not using smartphones.”“Another 1.3 million young users of smartphones do not have any reliable access to mobile data. If you deactivate their SIM, you affect their studies … So, let’s be fair to them.” Salceda said.
