Telecoms infrastructure

•  Quality

-  India's telecoms infrastructure is dominated by a state-owned telecoms monopoly delay-plagued satellite connections.

-  In contrast, the Philippines offers a privatized telecoms infrastructure with offering several telecommunications provider to choose from, with redundant international connectivity using fiber optic cabling and satellite communications.

-  Metro Manila boasts a world-class telecommunications infrastructure with well-working land-based telephone lines, high bandwidth and full redundancy.

•  Access

-  Most of the Philippines' most prominent telecoms providers, including Bayantel, Eastern, Globe, PLDT and Smart, all maintain their corporate headquarters in Metro Manila, the location that we suggest for Magellan Solutions' future operations center in the Philippines.

-  Broadband access in Metro Manila is abundant, reliable and available through at least ten different internationally capitalized telecoms providers and ISPs.

-  Philippine telecoms carriers can easily deploy high-speed access connections straight to the Internet backbone or to point-to-point locations across the world.
