Re: Let us persist in the advocacy to have internet costs lowered and speed levelled up

Hi sir Jorge,

Good to hear from you...

There is an issue of revising our law for NTC to have a teeth in going after the telcos.... I also heard that Telstra with SMC will invest..  plus the plan of Zuckerberg in using a satellite for internet connection.. Hoping that all of these will push through to increase the competition.

Yes, we will continue campaigning until we realize our dream of a cheaper and faster internet.

Thanks,
Cezar

Hi Leaders Engr. Cezar and VP Belle:

Thanks for getting in touch.  As we were saying in the Leadership class, as espoused by Leader Cezar, we would campaign for faster internet speed.

I have put up a site to focus on this.  It would  seem though that people do not mind.  When there was a campaign to support Sen Bam Aquinos inquiry, only 1,300 supported.  Not a soul attended his inquiry.

Faster internet speed

I have made 9 posts and very few are following or are reading this site.

There are several developments in this area.  One solution is to have peering deal between telcos in the PHL say between Globe and PLDT.  Under the peering arrangement, the local traffic can be directed between the local exchanges, without cost on either parties thus lessening costs, and faster access.  As of now, the traffic between two Telcos have to go through an international node at HK thus, increasing cost and increasing access time.

Globe and PLDT are now in serious talks on IPP (Internet Peering Protocols)  So far, PLDT gave in to peer with DOST so that many can gain easier access to govt.  sites.  I foresee tough nego between  PLDT and Globe, because this means loss of revenues for PLDT (this could be a major source of revenue for PLDT, since they control the backbone after Digitel purchase)

Two options are available:

1.  For PLDT to allow the peering;

2.  And for NTC to show its teeth as a regulator, and force the peering.  Last year, PLDT objected to the peering order from NTC  So far nothing was heard again from this peering memo.  How come

So we netizens can kulit/campaign appeal to the Gilas sponsor, or to NTC to hear the netizens speed up this basic service.

Mark Zuckerberg, the chair of Facebook advocates that faster and easier access to internet is KEY TO PROGRESS.
