The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
InfiniVAN Inc., a Japanese-affiliated telecommunications company, and Royal Cable Vision Corporation, a fiber home internet provider, entered into a strategic partnership that establishes a new benchmark in digital infrastructure.
Under the Indefeasible Right of Use Agreement, Royal Cable Vision Corporation will tap InfiniVAN’s Microduct Tube within the facility, a configuration that creates a “triple threat” to the country’s long-standing internet issues, minimizing disruptions to infrastructure and provide on-the-go, continuous internet security. The agreement makes a trailblazing move for advancing digital transformation. This will foster an open access policy aimed at creating a more competitive, faster and more accessible and affordable internet for all Filipinos. The partnership scales up digital infrastructure in accordance with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ‘s directive for reliable and affordable internet.
