PRESIDENT Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. vowed during his third State of the Nation Address to harness, together with the government’s partners from the private sector, the concept of common towers in a bid to enhance internet connectivity across the country.Marcos said that as of 2022, only 77 percent or 20.6 million households were connected to the internet.“This is much too low,” Marcos said.
The President maintained that the country is progressing in upgrading both in capacity and connectivity, noting that almost 10 million unique user devices are benefitting from free internet in over 13,000 areas across the country, which includes schools and remote communities.Marcos noted the completion of phase 1 of the National Fiber Backbone, which goes from Baler to Laoag to Metro Manila.The project aims to give communities sufficient capacity in terms of bandwidth.
