A 1 Business Leadership

Leadership subject at AGSB is an Ateneo advantage. It emphasizes leadership from within, authentic leadership. One of its pillars is love. This is odd in a cold steely corporate world. The others are heroism, ingenuity and self awareness. The goal of leadership is not only to develop oneself but to clone other leaders. Everybody has potential to be leader. What we do, even if we do not have followers influences/affects others. It is time to define Filipino leadership too

Business leaders let us help internet speed in the country - do we know somebody from PLDT?

'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

Daig pa tayo ng Myanmar, Cambodia, at Vietnam, quo vaids Globe, SMART?

Mukhang kulelat SMART; Does NTC, or does top management have cap ex on speeding up their internet service?

Buti nadaig natin ang Afghanistan, may giyera duon ah, eh dito,

From Inquirer/tech

One of the call to arms speeches came from an executive of a supplier in telco. He decried the very slow speed, (the slowest and the most expensive) internet connection in the Philippines. While the telcos are raking in billions in revenues and net income, they have not made investment to speed up internet in the Philippines and lower costs. All are disciples of profit, without regards to service. And maybe, NTC is turning blind eye to this predicament.

"In the latest household download index by Internet broadband testing company Ookla, the Philippines ranked 176th out of 202 countries with an average download speed of 3.64 megabit per second (mbps), way below the average broadband speed of 23.3 mbps. This was the second slowest in Asia, next to cellar-dweller Afghanistan with 2.52 mbps." - from Inquirer

Despite being one of the slowest, Internet in the Philippines also emerged as one of the most expensive (61st), with an average value of $18.19 per mbps, exceeding the average global cost of $5.21. The country also ranked 59th in the relative cost of broadband subscription, which was set at $31.55.

Thus the speaker, who prefers anonymity says we should encourage competition. Google is going to make investment in satellites that can provide such cheap and fast services. Or maybe we can put up new service providers (but the telcos all ready bought the frequency allocations) Hi di ba monopoly yan discouraging free market and competition.

But definitely you and I agree and we call on Globe and SMART The Ayala guys and MVP to address this problem. With billions at your disposal use this to improve ;your core business, rather than paying attention to basketball etc.. new acquisitions... It is a duty and business responsibility.

Leaders ano gagawin natin, magcampaign tayo....? Ano bright ideas? Or we just watch things happen?

I understand MVP is a kabalen, eh baka mabulungan natin na ayusin ang problemang ito..

Huwag tayong malungkot though, USA has second slowest LTE ahead of Phil

Finally may hearing yata this week as per Sen Bam Aquino

Sen Chiz also wants to probe slow internet in the Phil (this slows down BPO growth)
