PLDT to waive rights over CURE frequencies

PLDT Inc. will be formalizing its intent of not seeking compensation for surrendered frequencies that the government wants to award to a third telecommunications player.

PLDT — one-half of a so-called duopoly along with Globe Telecom — is preparing an official letter waiving all rights and benefits involving Connectivity Unlimited Resource Enterprise (CURE) frequencies turned over in 2012, company chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan said on Tuesday.
