Foreign experts urged the Philippines to adopt newer Internet technologies to keep up with developments worldwide. In a local forum hosted by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co (PLDT), Dr. Ives Poppe, a renowned Internet expert, said that developing countries such as the Philippines could no longer ignore the adoption of Internet Protocol 6 (IPv6). | ||
| IPv6 is not a service but will likely be a crucial enabling technology. Nobody cares too much about IPv6 per se but nobody will be able to ignore it much longer," he said.
Early this year, PLDT signed separate agreements with the University of the Philippines and the Advance Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) in line with its efforts to push the adoption of newer Internet technologies. The parties agreed to undertake projects and research activities that will include rural telecommunications, IPv6, mobile telecommunications, broadband networking, toll online billing system, and wireless communications.
