[November 05, 2009] Philippines - Telecommunications Infrastructure Tweet (M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6f0069/philippines_tele) has announced the addition of the "Philippines - Telecommunications Infrastructure" report to their offering. Synopsis The Philippines telecommunications sector has witnessed substantial investment in infrastructure, driven initially by the Service Area Scheme (SAS) for fixed-line development in the 1990s and, more recently, by the burgeoning mobile telephony market. The fixed-line strategy, however, has resulted in a massive under-utilisation of infrastructure, with only a 50% occupancy of installed fixed-line capacity. This obviously raised serious questions about the SAS process and other policy decisions. This report provides an overview of the local, national and international infrastructure that has been put in place. Key Topics Covered: 1. Synopsis 2.
