- W131809401 abstract "Market-driven development and the liberalization of the world's telecommunications sector has been a crucial component in the current process of globalization. The Philippines provides an interesting case study. Since the beginning, the telecommunications structure has been shaped by colonial powers and private market interests with telephone service primarily based on an 'ability to pay' principle. In line with neoliberal policies, the 1995 Public Telecommunications Policy Act of the Philippines deregulated the telecommunications industry and encouraged competition. This facilitated the entry of new domestic firms, backed by foreign partners, with commitments to rollout basic telecommunications infrastructure in exchange for licenses to operate international gateway facilities and cellular mobile telephone systems. While there has been a gradual growth in the number of landlines, the entry of imported technologies has paved the path for a wireless revolution in the Philippines characterized by the explosive growth of digital mobile phones with its unique feature of text messaging, formally known as Short Message Service (SMS). This thesis analyzes the phenomenal growth of cellular mobile phones in the Philippines, in particular, the ways in which Filipinos have appropriated the technology. It explores the dialectical relation between technology and society to avoid the pitfalls of technological determinist analyses. It discusses the broad economic and social conditions that contributed to the wireless revolution. It explores the ramifications of this revolution in communications technology. What are the trade-offs? Who are the winners and losers? What are the social and economic implications of the wireless revolution?" @default.
