Hi! I am doing research about the telecom industry in PH in the foreigners pov, and one of the topics is on POGO, I have 2 questions. 1. How can the internet speed in the Philippines sustain the POGO industry, given that it is very slow? This is to cover both the video streaming and BPO part. 2. What are the requirements to be an internet services provider for this industry, what are the requirements especially if it is a foreign telco? Thanks, Mycah
