 Philippines - Broadband Market
Compared with many of its Asian neighbours, the Philippines is moving slowly on the adoption of Internet. Of the estimated 6% of the population who are the Internet users population, only a fraction of these go online with a broadband connection. Nevertheless, the data and Internet markets are well positioned for growth. Future growth will depend on the provision of reliable infrastructure, especially in the area of broadband Internet. Incumbent, PLDT, and BayanTel were leading the broadband market. This report looks at the various initiatives to provide broadband services in the country as the government continues to encourage development.

Philippines - Broadcasting
The Philippines has a vibrant media sector. Ownership has been predominantly private and freedom of the press is guaranteed by the constitution. The first television broadcast was in 1953. There are six FTA nationwide television networks. Cable TV was launched as long ago as 1969, but it is only now starting to really grow, substantially boosted by the prospect of bundling broadcasting with Internet, telephony and other services. Whilst DTH satellite TV has been available in the Philippines since 1999, its large scale adoption awaits the entry of a major player - possibly PLDT - into the market. This report provides a broad overview of the Philippines television broadcasting market.

Philippines - Internet Services
Internet has not yet really taken off in the Philippines. With an estimated Internet user population of 6%, penetration is among the lowest in Asia. The Internet sector is, however, well positioned for growth, with a deregulated market, strong government support for IT development, and an increasingly Internet savvy population. The stimulation and growth of e-commerce will, in turn, depend on increasing the accessibility of Internet, greater PC penetration and the enactment by the government of appropriately strong e-commerce legislation. This report looks at the development of the Internet and related e-commerce activities in the Philippines.

Philippines - Key Statistics, Telecom Market and Regulatory Overviews
Whilst the Philippines telecommunications sector has witnessed considerable investment and activity since deregulation in 1993, the market has fallen short of its potential. However, there is considerable optimism that this is about to change. This report provides a statistical overview of the Philippine market. The difficulty in obtaining accurate statistical information on the market is noted, for some indicators only 2004 official figures being available. Although the National Telecommunications Commission solicits information from the operators, compliance is not high, the respondents interpret measures in different ways and the information, once received, is not always compiled.

Philippines - Major Telecommunications Players
Formerly a monopoly market of the Philippines Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) overseen by the government, the Philippines telecommunications industry is now highly competitive following the dismantling of the exclusive regime and opening it up to other telecom companies in 1993. As a result of deregulation, ten new companies entered the market to challenge the former incumbent, PLDT, fixed-line costs began to fall and nationwide teledensity improved markedly. However, PDLT remains the nation's principal domestic and international fixed-line provider and continues to operate the most extensive nationwide domestic fibre optic network and microwave long-distance network.
