BIMP-EAGA ICT CEO Convention
DAVAO CITY – August 19, 2015
Local media interviewed Mr. Jasmi Adnan Thien, Managing Director/President BEST
Cable Singapore. Mr. Thien said, the challenges in Submarine Cable getting all
the couple of authorities, getting approval, get the permits and business
requirements and this is coming from the four (4) countries, every country has
its own requirements, set-up rules so that the big challenge we have to secure
business permits and has its own policy and laws to be followed by any
investors who wants to put-up business anywhere. The other than that the
problem and challenges would be financing, because, we are from the private
sector, we don’t get thrust from the government it need a lot of funding and we
need funding from the private sector to be acquired for these projects.
Yes that our objectives we know
what is the price of each country and our objectives actually we have to sell
it, we used the term affordable price of our own competitive price, we are
providing wholesales a kind of Bandwidths, when it comes to retail, normally
when it comes to retail, we have to tie-up with the local cable providers to
get prospective retailer partners for instance like in the Philippines,
Malaysia has its own strategic partners and Indonesia by ASEAN. They have buyer
the reselling scheme for the respective customers would want to avail our
company’s submarine cable provider services.
Mr. Thien said, I tell you Inside
the BIMP-EAGA ICT cluster it’s actually, they have interest group like SMEs
into being the used of Bandwidths, so I can say it that should, can manage the
SME usage of Bandwidths wither classify as retail users.
I did mentioned last year, the
cost of the Submarine cable project which will cost and estimated by Mr. Thien,
President of the BEST Cable-Singapore is U$300M for the getaway project to be
completed, Mr. Thien said.
Initially with the
plan for the groundbreaking is being moved and we have challenges like
completing the
Permit requirements to
submit and the groundbreaking ceremony will be in a schedule and kick-
Off soon when all the
necessary business permits and all requirements are completed. We will make
Sure this project
will be properly implemented to meet the timelines. The timelines will commence
in
Between the end of this year and next year probably

The proposed getaway
Submarine Cable internet project from Guam to Parang Maguindanao is the
Longest trenches,
actually, it was estimated of around 300 miles long submarine cable projects,
Mr.
Thien said. The getaway
in Parang to Guam, to make sure all four countries is connected. The
Distribution of Bandwidths
one will pass though Satellite and second local distribution probably tie-up
With local cable
operator partners and local retailer partners. Guam is part of east getaway and
Brunei
Is west getaway.

also
Restricted to ARMM
quote and unquote.
Policy hitches, Mr.

business
Permits to operate
and complied all the necessary legal requirements for operation within
Malaysia”.
