The government announced Tuesday, July 22 plans to link at least 160 national government offices in Metro Manila via fiber optic cable by September this year. Undersecretary Louis Casambre of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Office under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) said the fibre optic interconnection of all government offices will be fully deployed by early 2015. He added the government’s network will enable the creation of an all-in-one portal for the delivery of public services directly to citizens, doing away for the need to line up at agencies of the government. The government previously attempted to create a national broadband network but the project was marred in controversy and a bribery scandal.
