The two biggest telecommunication companies of the country the Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) Inc. and Globe Telecom Inc. agreed the deal for the improvement of the internet speed and both of them will use bilateral Internet Protocol (IP) peering.
In a statement PLDT said "The MOA paves the way for the initial phase of bilateral peering which is localized IP traffic exchange between the PLDT Group broadband and mobile subscribers and Globe Group subscribers, which should be completed 30 days after the execution of the MOA".
PLDT Executive Vice President Ernesto Alberto also said “By keeping local traffic local, we improve the internet experience of both PLDT and Globe subscribers. The intention here is to keep local traffic within the country which should lower latency due to less hops and thus, should result in marked improvements in fixed broadband and mobile internet services in the country".
The agreement was said to be implemented in the next 30 days. Just as the incoming president Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte has shout out to all internet providers to upgrade their services or face competition.
