The Department of Information and Communications Technology has launched a new program to provide Internet access to residents in remote parts of the country.
Last month, Uy said they also constructed the tower and receivers in the cities of Lamitan and Isabela in Basilan to also provide Internet access in the said areas. “We cannot do 100 percent [Internet access] because there are certain islands where let’s say [there are only] a handful of people,” Uy said.
“The transmitters are there, but these have no bandwidth because the previous administration did not renew the connectivity [contract] from January 2022 up to today,” Uy said.
