Telstra joins Philippine Open Internet Exchange

Last November 11, the PHOpenIX website announced that Telstra has joined the Philippine Open Exchange. This puts Telstra as among the biggest members of the Philippine Open Internet Exchange, which currently owns EAC-C2C (which it recently acquired from Pacnet in April 2015) and co-owns APCN-2 which has a bandwidth capacity of 17.92 Tbit/s to 30.72 Tbit/s.

This development only fuels the preparation for Telstra’s entrance in the mobile network service in the Philippines which is supposed to be a partnership with San Miguel.

No other information was shared by PHOpenIX.

Also read: This excitement over Telstra might end up as a huge disappointment.

The fact that Telstra/Pacnet is now peering on PHOpenIX is a welcome development for Philippine Internet. This should immensely improve the user experience from subscribers outside of PLDT as Pacnet has its own pipe. Eastern is already there, they should strive to get NTT and Tata to place a PoP in there. Overall, positive for Globe.

Siguradong naghahanda na ang mga telco lobbyists at media spin doctors para maharangan at siraan ang telstra. Panahon na para bumagsak ang monopoly ng pldt sa bansa.
