Earlier today, we witnessed the MOA signing between PLDT and DOST-ASTI that details the local IP Peering of PLDT with PHOpenIX. The same event also officially designated the PHOpenIX as the government's official IP exchange (G/IPX). Top brass of PLDT were there to sign along with DOST Sec. Aquino who's been instrumental in getting both parties together and encouraging PLDT to join PHOpenIX. We asked some specific questions about this agreement and here are the responses we got from both parties: PLDT has donated dark fiber to DOST which spans from ASTI in Diliman to the ePLDT Vitro Data Center in Pasig. Hopefully, after 2 years, PLDT will continue to provide this for free or the government will try to allocate budget for this as explained by Sen. While the physical connections are in place, PLDT has yet to implement the proper IP routing in order for the traffic to be re-routed locally. PLDT has promised this will be done in 30 to 45 days from today. Read more in our articles including "Details of PLDT's IP Peering agreement with PHOpenIX" and "OnePlus Watch Lite now official".
