Globe desires unconditional peering - From GMA news
The PLDT Globe DOST peering issue
Globe has prodded PLDT for peering talks for the last 5 years, and only this year has PLDT agreed. It had limited peering with DOST under the PHOpenIX. However Globe notes that the peering being envisioned by PLDT limits access of the customers to data and other content
“The proposal does not go far enough even to meet the definition of peering,” said Globe Chief Operating Officer Gil Genio. “As is, PLDT’s proposed peering agreement won’t be effective in improving the country’s internet speed as it doesn’t allow Globe customers to directly access content and applications hosted by the PLDT group without exception.”
