The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) recently forged an agreement with IPS Incorporated, a Tokyo-based giant telecommunication company, and has allocated USD100 or Php5.6 billion for the project, DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy reported.
This will expand the capacity of a modern and secure gateway for the Philippines to the rest of the world via Japan.
InfiniVAN Inc., an IPS affiliate in the Philippines, also offered another estimated investment of PHP4 billion under a public-private partnership arrangement that would fast track the deployment and connectivity of the National Broadband Plan, also known as Broadband ng Masa Program (BBMP).
