“Right now is the prime moment for Filipino basketball enthusiasts to become Smart subscribers,” said Alfredo S. Panlilio, President and CEO of PLDT and Smart, as well as the head of the FIBA local organizing committee.
“Through Smart, we are empowering our basketball-loving nation to fully embrace our country’s historic hosting of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. By downloading the Smart Livestream app, you can relish virtual front-row seats, immersing yourself in the world’s biggest basketball stage as if you were present,” he added.
Subscribers and fans will have the opportunity to witness and rally behind Gilas Pilipinas, led by Jordan Clarkson of the Utah Jazz, as well as Team USA and other basketball superstars as they vie for FIBA supremacy.
As Clarkson and Slovenia’s Luka Doncic expressed in their recent commercial released by FIBA: “Once you don your country’s flag-bearing jersey, nothing else matters.”
WORLD CLASS MOBILE NETWORK EXPERIENCE
Watching the FIBA games on the Smart LiveStream app is part of Smart’s endeavor to bring the finest basketball experiences to subscribers, powered by the Philippines’ fastest and top-tier mobile network, as attested by global network analytics firm Ookla for three consecutive reporting periods: Q1-Q2 2022, Q3-Q4 2022, and Q1-Q2 2023.
Smart has also collaborated with technology partners Huawei and Ericsson to expand and consistently optimize its LTE and 5G mobile network coverage across all three venues of the FIBA Basketball World Cup, including the Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, and the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
Smart subscribers attending the venues can anticipate a world-class mobile experience not only during the highly anticipated games but also at the major concerts and post-tournament events.
