The conglomerate formed a consortium called Sears Telecom with TierOne Communications International. TierOne is backed by Chinese firm Fujian Torch Electron Technology, Singaporean company Miller Pte. Ltd., and Cambodia-based Southeast Asia Telecom.[5] The consortium touted itself as the only bidder planning to use satellite internet access by deploying portable Wi-Fi hotspots connected via satellite.[4] LCS was not among the three entrants to the bidding,[6] which was eventually won by Mislatel, which renamed themselves as Dito Telecommunity.
