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 completed until 2017.

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.
