And the Telecom War is on...

I say enjoy your "free time" with Sun now - while it lasts.

Once the time comes for Digitel to pay back all the loans they made to get all the network equipment they need to be at par with the other two networks, they will surely have to raise their rates. It will then be a "tri-poly" where these three will share the market and fix thier rates so as to survive equally. Much like what the oil industry is doing. I can almost see the disgusted faces of Sun converts when this happens.

Worse, if Sun fails to grab an equal share of the market, it is not far fetched that they can sell out to Smart or Globe to regain their investment and make a profit even - as what happend with Islacom, Piltel and other telcos before. Bottom line - poor Sun converts, they have to revert back to thier old providers.

So I say again, enjoy what the free market now offers!
