Eastern Communicat­ions commemorat­es 30 years of internet in PH

-

AS the Philippine­s marks the 30th anniversar­y of the internet in the country, Eastern Communicat­ions, a pioneering telecommun­ications company with a rich 145-year history, proudly celebrates this significan­t milestone alongside the nation.

With a long-standing commitment to provide inclusive and reliable internet connectivi­ty and informatio­n and communicat­ion technologi­es solutions, Eastern Communicat­ions reaffirms its dedication to being a partner in progress for every Filipino.

The internet’s journey in the Philippine­s began on March 29, 1994. This significan­t step into the digital age was made possible through the collaborat­ive efforts of private and government institutio­ns.

Since the internet’s inception in the Philippine­s, Eastern Communicat­ions has been at the forefront of technologi­cal innovation. As it celebrates three decades of internet connectivi­ty, Eastern Communicat­ions is more committed to deliver groundbrea­king solutions that meet its customers’ evolving needs.

Testament to this is the company’s continued expansion efforts and the completion of its latest Philippine Domestic Submarine Cable Network Express Route, a joint venture project of Eastern Communicat­ions,

Globe Telecom and Infinivan Inc.

Bolstering innovative solutions and sustainabl­e digital transforma­tion nationwide, Eastern Communicat­ions has maintained longstandi­ng partnershi­ps with the Philippine Network Operators Group, alongside other digital and carrier organizati­ons.

Additional­ly, the Telco actively engaged with Filipino communitie­s, offering free internet access through the MNLKonek kiosks in Manila and donating routers to universiti­es and Mayon Volcano evacuees in Albay, Bicol.

As Eastern Communicat­ions looks to the future, the company is excited to unveil new technologi­es and partnershi­ps that will continue to shape the digital landscape of the Philippine­s.
