From the news: AT&T and PLDT are talking. It's a nice time to come in given that Worldcom seems to have the bulk of private lines used for IP traffic coming into the country. AT&T Wireles is also mentioned and I wonder what that would have to do with the local mobile carriers.

The Philippine Science and Technology Portal is starting up. I hope it gets more people to work on projects to help development, and maybe some national pride and glory.
