The Department of Information and Communications Technology and telco firms Globe Telecom Inc., PLDT, Smart Communications Inc., DITO Telecom Inc., and Converge ICT Solutions signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the Connectivity Index Rating.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology and telco firms Globe Telecom Inc., PLDT, Smart Communications Inc., DITO Telecom Inc., and Converge ICT Solutions signed a memorandum of understanding on Friday to establish the Connectivity Index Rating.
The DICT chief clarified that the rating system is not mandatory – nor will there be penalties – because the incentives for businesses will be the exposure once the ratings are published. Uy added that government subsidy is not possible for private establishments seeking to improve their connectivity since they generate their own income. However, they will look into providing support for micro, small, and medium enterprises.
"We want hotels, restaurants, malls to have the highest ratings. So, when tourists come here, they will have connectivity. And beyond that, also government services," Aguda added.
