The DICT expects the government to save P720 million in Internet subscription expenses in the first year of implementation of the NBP or up to P34 billion in the next five years.
The initiative is in line with the first phase of the National Broadband Program (NBP) which will link established provincial broadband networks to the national fiber backbone.
Through the National Broadband Program (NBP), government agencies can avail Internet service at P50 per Mbps of Internet bandwidth per month compared to the current P350, the DICT said.
