Following the implementation of Executive Order 47, which transferred the former Commission on Information and Communication Technology (CICT) and two other attached agencies (now called the ICT Office) under the DOST, a medium-term development plan for ICT research and development and its linkages to the ICT industry.

There will also be a survey of selected towns will complement the next-wave cities that the government and industry partners charted for expansion of the high-flying BPO sector.

Maybe it’s just me, but wasn’t these the regular annual duties of the CICT? Even with their sparse funds and human resources, the CICT already developed a long term strategy that includes the numerous programs and projects in e-government, cyber-services, human capital, and information infrastructure as well as various pending partnerships with academe, local stakeholders, and industry associations that all serve to harness the Philippines’ potential with the use of ICT.

And now the DOST’s ICT Office is going to ignore all those months’ and years’ of devoted work and planning just so as they can start on their own? Even with this obvious head-start, they decide to go back, back beyond the starting line and make their own surveys, research and from there, make strategies?

Isn’t that a monumental waste of effort, and time? Why not continue on the good work that the CICT has built on?

Telecom giant Globe Philippines has already set in motion the transition of its core IP network to IPv6, or Internet Protocol version 6, making sure it is fully prepared as the Internet runs out of IPv4 addresses.

Currently, public IPv4 addresses are being used to connect to the Internet and with these facing exhaustion in the near future, there is a strong need to move toward IPv6.

With this initiative, business processes requiring Internet connectivity will remain uninterrupted. Users will have continued access to the Internet using new IPv6 addresses.

IPv6 supports a vastly larger amount of IP addresses than its predecessor. IPv6 will enable enterprise customers to have more public IP addresses to allocate within their organizations.

As Globe completes its IPv6 deployment, it will be able to provide a seamless Internet experience for its customers.

The transition to IPv6 on its core IP network will give enterprises access to both IPv4 and IPv6 sites or destinations on the Internet, as the resulting infrastructure will be capable of transporting both types of traffic. Globe assures enterprises of business continuity for a seamless transition to IPv6.
