Converge ICT Solutions shared that the company will be spending PHP 29 billion over the next 18 months for this purpose.
In a report on Gizguide, the said budget will be used in order to roll out and upgrade its infrastructure nationwide as Converge aimed to reach 55% of Filipino households by 2025.
Matthias Vukovich, the CFO of Converge, said that the amount that was raised from its massive initial public offering (IPO) would help Converge reach its goal.
The said investment would probably help Converge provide Filipinos with a high-speed Fiber connection at home.
This was important as the country was one of the biggest internet users in the world but with a low 9% of subscriber fiber penetration.
