Think tank: Government has to invest more in digital infrastructure

MANILA, Philippines — THE government has to pour in more funds to the country's digital infrastructure if it wants to catch up with neighboring countries in terms of internet speed and coverage, a public policy reform think tank said.

CitizenWatch PH lead convenor Orlando Oxales said on Wednesday beefing up investments in the country's digital foundation will not only address the broadband infrastructure gap between the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations but will also help empower people and industries in the internet world.
