Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc. (ETPI) will be the official Internet service provider (ISP) of CommAsia 2001, the most comprehensive information communications technology event in the country to be held at the World Trade Center from May 24-26, 2001.

Eastern Telecoms is currently the leading broadband provider in the country today at 77 mbps.

"We are proud to be part of CommAsia 2001. ETPI’s strength in the Internet particularly our broadband services, will be showcased in this event," he added.

CommAsia 2001 is a joint project of the Philippine Electronics and Telecommunications Federation (PETEF) and IIR Exhibitions. It will be held coinciding with the National Electronics and Telecommunications Week (NETW). There will be a total of 214 exhibitors from 18 countries, which includes the United States.
