BIMP-EAGA ICT CEO Convention

DAVAO CITY – August 19, 2014 – Local Media interviewed Atty. Samuel Matunog, President ICT Davao, Inc., said, In the broadband franchising will be expanded the areas of distribution especially in the ARMM area, we hope that the peace process, will in able us to make platform that and we can discuss it that how to make the ARMM join for the franchising of broadband and the whole Mindanao would enjoy it. But until we and it is important to us have made agreement that day cause otherwise it’s very hard to in tie with the investors to invest too much money in a place where the security is not available. So the key component of this is we have a frame work for making us insuring investments of the BEST Cable  will be secured so that they can do their work. If no assurance of security it is hard and even to think about the distributing bandwidth.

It so happened and I ask Atty. Matunog the problem of connectivity if there is any resolution of that problem??? He answered ‘there are actually so many several broadband providers that are ready to provide better and effective broadband for us, but the problem, we need to provide policy to be amended, so we will be able the players to come in, it is not a case that we don’t have technology, it is not a case of no players, it is not a case of no investors, that the policy frame work does not allowed them to play.  The specific policy is if you get congressional franchise you have invest a lot. The players who already ready to provide broadband cannot come in because they have to invest in fix line subscriber base to be able to come and play.

 I as president the project in BIMP-EAGA ICT, we are thinking of a way in line with SMEs not everyone cause we cannot, we cause we cannot change the law by night of thinking our innovators have provided by our regulators space and have access in broadband in innovation purposes for research and development we have to make a little space for that until we modify the law, unless we cannot distribute broadband of the franchise area.

The government allowing the consolidation, if they allow consolidating why, And they asking why not a case of quality the lost it to be change, The BBL is a good start so that the people is aware against violence and when you are investing a large amount of money in telephone and terrestrial and it need a big amount of money, but if there is peace in the area leave their money and think about really taking advantage of this market large.

We are supporting all initiatives around the area we are not talking ICT Davao is not a Political organization but for me personally to meet this agree of all people objection we follow Jose Rizal, we citizen of the world, Malaysia is angry with the Singapore, when they separated from the mainland Malaysia at the start, but when Singapore is booming one of the biggest trading partner of the world Malaysia is benefited out from the growth of Singapore economy. The success of it, we must trust each other like Malaysia trust to Singapore and Indonesia to East Timor vis-à-vis, Atty. Matunog said.
