From the get-go, the Americans, after arriving in Davao in 1900, launched the agenda to open roads for transport and the installation of telephone lines along the beachlines. For areas separated by riverways and ravines, the plan was to construct appropriate bridges to facilitate passage. The construction of passable roads later led to the introduction of wheeled vehicles.
The Bureau of Public Works reports from 1917 to 1931 say more about the projects. In 1917, over 400 telephone poles on the Davao-South line were replaced due to rotting and falling down, exclusive of the other 200 poles also needing similar attention. That year the Davao-North telephone line was finished. The following year, an additional 20 miles of lines were built on the Davao-North line that started at the Cuabo wireless station.
Nearly three decades later, the Davao City Council passed Resolutions 664 and 2015 on August 7, 1963, and December 27, 1963, respectively, allowing the operation and maintenance of a city-wide telephone system, owned, maintained, and operated by Davao City. To put on track the mandate, the city, on February 26, 1964, entered into a contract with ITT Philippines, Inc. for the latter to install and deliver the telephone system in the amount of P3.587 million.
