VIRAC, Catanduanes: The House of Representatives may have to concede
financial incentives in order to spur broadband service providers to
invest in high-speed Internet access infrastructure in the
countryside, Rep. Joseph Santiago of Catanduanes, chairman of the
House of information and communications technology committee, said
Sunday.
“Three out of four Filipinos live in the rural
areas. Connecting them to the world via broadband is absolutely
imperative to build up our whole economy,” said Santiago, former
chief of the National Telecommunications Commission.
