The country is good for tourism marketing but the fact that the country cannot be said for creating and maintaining local Internet infrastructure.Logistics and transportation of pipes, cables, and materials to create things like cell towers for mobile data and posts for wired connections become much harder. And when it becomes harder, expect the expenses to shoot up as well. This lead to the business problem for Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

The country is present with the 4G connectivity, but according to Yugatech.com. the local penetration is only at one-percent. Compare that to the Asian average of 12-percent—we’re obviously lagging behind.

Most Filipinos still prefer to use 3G since it’s deemed more reliable, given that 4G is still far from mainstream locally. In fact, our country ranks second to the last in terms of LTE coverage in the world at a measly 39-percent.

Furthermore, Big news for every Filipinos, Australian network giant Telstra is backing up by the San Miguel for its potential entry in the country. However,  according to a recent news report of the FHM, there are possible legal issues and the underestimation of needed expenses are threatening the telco’s entry in the Philippines.
