FreelanceThe Evolution of the Telecommunications Industry in the Philippines
Before the 80s, owning a telephone line is like having your own Mercedes Benz. People use telephones as a sign of status in the society.

And then a few years more, the cellphone age reached its peak. More carriers, lower fees, lesser restrictions, wider coverage. Even kids have their own phones now. Landline subscription started to decline as people become more mobile, wanting to bring with them their phones thus opting for a mobile phone than a stationary one. Today, competition in the industry is very much alive, with each offering countless promos that can only mean great for the consumers. You can talk about...
