In the next few months, top telecom companies in the country will be adopting
new technologies that will allow them to handle up to 1,000 simultaneous calls
in a single copper line at a very low cost.

Greg Marshall, president of Lucent Technologies Philippines, said yesterday
that with the digital subscriber line (DSL), carriers no longer need to put up
expensive infrastructure but can utilize their existing facilities to
accommodate more voice and data traffic.

As a result, he said, companies would be able to offer cheaper services to
their customers.

The Municipal Telephone Project Office (MTPO) expects to bring down the cost of
the "grossly overpriced" multi-billion "Telepono sa Barangay" (TSB) program by
as much as 75 percent once it completes renegotiations with foreign
suppliers.

This was pointed out over the weekend by Undersecretary for Transportation and
MTPO project director Willie Evangelista during the Telecommunications cluster
meeting.

Evangelista said that from the original contracts of about $20,000 - $30,000
per line, the current MTPO management is trying to reduce the amount to about
$4,500 per line incl
