Philippines - Broadband Market and Forecasts - 2011

Dublin, Ireland, November 3, 2011-Compared with many of its Asian neighbours, the Philippines has moved slowly on the adoption of Internet. Nevertheless, this situation was changing rapidly in recent years. Of the estimated 14% of the population which constituted the Internet-user population coming into 2011, a significant proportion of these were using a high-speed broadband connection to go online. Into 2011 around 70% of all Internet connections were broadband-based services, representing a major shift in the broadband presence in the Philippines, according to a new Research and Markets report.
