More fundamentally, however, these symptoms reflect underlying deficiencies in the institutions and policies that govern the sector. Recognizing these realities, many countries are now enacting comprehensive reforms designed to expand and improve their telecommunications infrastructure. In the Philippines, deregulation of the telecommunications sector has transformed it into an exciting industry to watch today due to increasing competition, mergers, strategies, and counter strategies involving key players. The government was successful in inducing competition, however, PLOT's monopoly is still strongly enhanced to block the policy of interconnection of different telephone networks. Local telephone companies, which have been in operation before deregulation, were only making enough profits. Some were even getting negative returns. With the entry of bigger players in the telephone business, local firms were faced with tough competition. True enough, the telephone density in the country improved. On the average, more lines are now available in proportion to the total population. However, this access to telephone lines is only felt in NCR while the other regions still suffer from the lack of the service. When these lines were made available, problems in contacting other carriers' subscribers have increased, with noises and unwanted signals corrupting the once audible lines. Deregulation might have resulted to some improvements. However, objectives like universal access and interconnection among different carriers are only partly achieved. Therefore, the government's aim to catch up in telecommunications infrastructure and to emerge as a newly industrialized country is still far from reality. Its aim cannot be achieved now, not in the near future as long as there are no properly observed guidelines and regulatory framework.Item Restricted The economics of merger in the telecommunication industry(1999-10-08) Cunanan, Sherleen; Lindong, Annie Rose; Herrin, Alejandro N.Liberalization of the telecommunication industry which resulted to a too crowded sector, accompanied by adverse effects of the Asian crisis, have been setting merger as a trend in the telecommunication industry. Telecom firms that already merged and those that are contemplating to do so have various financial and economic reasons for engaging in such activity. To be able to get a good over view as to why telecom companies choose to merge or not, major joint-venture deals within the sector have been studied and analyzed. Costs and benefits attached to merger are also examined. Since the probable success of a desirable merger pushing through can be explicitly and implicitly influenced by the government through its policies and regulations, the role of the government has been likewise assessed.Item Restricted The telecommunications industry and its effects on economic growth(1988-09) Abello, Jose Antonio R.; Alberto Ma.
