Fortunately, Smart Communications Inc. is widely open in collaborating with the CMO, mainly when it comes to the local government’s virtual activities. Part of their commitment is to provide a fast and reliable internet connection, free WiFi access at the City Hall Lobby and the entire floors and conference rooms of the City Hall.
The platform is free to register and broadcast for Smart, Sun Cellular and Talk and Text subscribers. They will also provide 300,000 monthly SMS allocations to the system to broadcast, 10,000 sim cards that will be distributed to Koronadaleños, cellphones and other promotional materials.
