Rody tells telcos: Shape up or face new competition
MONDAY, 30 MAY 2016 – The two dominant telecommunication firms in the country better shape up and improve the speed of Internet download, one of the slowest in the world.
Otherwise, they will face competition from new players under a Duterte administration.
Presumptive President-elect Rodrigo Duterte said he would open the country to foreign telecommunication firms that could provide better service if the existing telcos would not do something to improve Internet connection and access.
“You improve the service or I will open the Philippines. All can come in,” Duterte said at a press briefing on Saturday night, May 21, in Davao City.
