Competition in ICT industry to reduce charges

Gabriel Pimentel, ABS Managing Director for the South East Asia and Asia Pacific made the comments today during the official presentation of individual operator licenses by the National Information and Communication Technology.  

 “ABS is a global satellite operator; traditionally we have been providing space segment bandwidth,  but we  have gone one step further, by not only being a satellite provider but in fact started to develop services on the ground, enabling a cheaper satellite bandwidth we bring which will be passed to the consumers,”  Pimentel said.
