From Analog to Digital: Philippine Policy and Emerging Internet Technologies

Abstract

The country’s laws and regulations that affect Internet provision have not changed much since 1995. As a result, the Philippines continues to use analog policies for an increasingly digitizing world. It is hoped that the rise of emerging Internet technologies—with the promise to bridge the digital divide—can provide the much-needed impetus for reforming the Philippines’ policy and regulatory environment to bring it to the digital age.
