We have seen how mobile development and outsourcing became an important player in the economy. New technologies such as cloud computing, 4G and FTTx, and adopt buzz-strategies like social media networking are slowly being incorporated into the mainstream development of all aspects of society. A recent study by Interactive Data Corp predicts the ICT landscape in the Philippines this year will be driven by recovery of its ICT spending – an estimated US$3.14 and $3.81 billion in total IT and telecommunication market spending respectively by end of 2010.
