(Telecompaper) Philippine operator Globe Telecom is urging the creation of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). Globe believes this would help elevate local state of internet and help the country become a digital economy. A bill creating the DICT is now up for signing by President Aquino. Under the proposed measure, the DICT will be the primary entity in charge of planning, promoting and helping develop the country's ICT sector and ensure cost-efficient communications facilities and other multi-media infrastructure and services.
