Telcos: EO streamlining permits for telecom, internet infra to benefit public

Three of the country’s major telecommunications players on Thursday welcomed the issuance of an executive order streamlining the permitting process for the construction of telecommunications and internet infrastructure in the country.

“We are grateful to President Marcos for issuing this EO, which will allow the telco industry and the adjunct TowerCo industry to further ramp up infrastructure builds that will provide life-enabling connectivity in an equitable way across the country. This will help accelerate the country’s digital transformation and open doors for more opportunities to Filipinos in the areas of education, employment and innovation,” Globe Telecom president and CEO Ernest Cu said in a separate statement.

DITO Telecommunity chief administrative officer Adel Tamano said the EO "will most definitely benefit not only DITO in our efforts to hasten our infrastructure roll out but most importantly the Filipino people who are to enjoy sooner the fruits of faster, more affordable, and reliable services.''
