Faster and Cheaper Internet in the Philippines

Internet in the Philippines is 2nd to the slowest in Asia only, only ahead of Afghanistan, and one of the most expensive?!.While our neighbors have internet speed exceeding 100 mbps, our internet, like our EDSA traffic, is painfully slow? Why? Let us campaign and complain to legislators, LGU leaders and NTC. They have a mandate to give citizens to better IT technology.Are the regulators regulating? Are the telcos and the regulators on friendly terms?

Mark Zuckerberg addressed the United Nations twice to make internet access a global priority. He addressed the UN Sustainable Development Conference, and later the UN Private Sector where UN Sec Gen Ban Ki-moon and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were present

“Connecting the world is one of the fundamental challenges of our generation,” Zuckerberg said. “More than 4 billion people don’t have a voice online.”

In the Philippines, faster and cheaper internet access is a big challenge. 7 out of 10 Filipinos according to UN report do not have internet access. This is sad. Thus we should be concerned and pay attention to this news.
