From Rappler - Globe urges PLDT to peer in neutral IX
Globe probably taunting or challenging PLDT says that PLDT can only show its support to peering by engaging a neutral IX. However Mon Isberto has again a mouthful in defense of status quo. That was in 2014. Perhaps because of mounting public pressure, and that PLDT is looking more of a villain.
The real reason behind objection to peering is there is no revenue, nor sharing.
We are glad that PLDT has relented and has peered with DOST and and is in serious talk with Globe.
However the public must be vigilant and campaign hard by tweets and FB for PLDT to speed up peering talks with other ISPs.
The main reason why internet is expensive and slow is we through a central transit point which is PLDT. It is very possible that local traffic can be peered so that the local traffic does not have to go through international exchanges (the PLDT node that goes to HK) Imagine local traffic still going abroad. Even if the speed is milliseconds there well be delay.
Shall we campaign for peering?
