nelson, i understand the idea of internet via powerlines was actually seriously considered here. i understand there’s provisions in the mrt for the mrt to serve as a kind of backbone for an internet service via power lines, there’s a kind of tunnel under it, if my information is accurate, with provisions for a powerline to serve the purpose you described. but dsl seems to have made it an option economically unviable for now.

Nelson,

“There is a technology called BPL (Broadband Over Power Lines)”

If your proposal gains ground and, make sure Gloria witnesses the contract signing, ok?

Of course, you gotta ask the suppliers to have that upfront cash available – lots more than $10million this time around.

Come to think of it, I would like to offer a solution to the broadband requirement (w/c not may be a priority as of this time):

There is a technology called BPL (Broadband Over Power Lines) where net signals are sent thru our plug outlets. Build electric lines to the remotest village and voila their barangay can be connected thru the net! Talk to the Linux Community and they will gladly help with operating system software. Hire a software team and create encryption and security system. Use the BPL technology for a closed Philippine-only intranet with 2 tiers. One is public – homes can access by purchasing a modified modem and plugging to their power sockets (from the pc). The other tier is accessible only amongst gov’t offices.

With these, our country will then earn from advertising entrance and the fees from web owners whose site they would like to be accessible to people who have no broadband yet. That means that google, for example can have their web applications an assured audience.

The same facility can also be used for an optional id system (for buyers and sellers), creating an online business that the government can properly tax and still be more affordable for households.

Education, health consultations and many other services can be facilitated, monitored and regulated.

We improve the electrification effort and we connect the gov’t offices and the entire nation in one project!

That’s ok John Marzan. Too bad though that you hadn’t noticed that:

(1) I’m not in this for the popularity anyway; and,

(2) the previous comment was more of a toungue-in-cheek statement.

(then again most one-dimensional minds tend to miss things like these)

Stay tuned for more dishing out…

Murderers? Who? The SandiganBayan Justices? If you’re implying the Justices were dictated upon by Malacanang, then that verdict surely isn’t justice but purely political expedition.

Cvj, got the same thought, lol.
