Local cellular phone companies may take four to five years before being able to
adopt the third generation (3G) mobile technology which foreign operators are
already testing.

Greg Marshall, Lucent Technologies Philippines president and chief executive
officer, said that it would not be easy for the carriers to practically throw
away huge investments in their current platform amounting to billions of
pesos.

"3G will displace all of these technologies but for most companies, especially
in developing countries, this is may not be a reality in the next four to five
years," he s

In the next few months, top telecom companies in the country will be adopting
new technologies that will allow them to handle up to 1,000 simultaneous calls
in a single copper line at a very low cost.

Greg Marshall, president of Lucent Technologies Philippines, said yesterday
that with the digital subscriber line (DSL), carriers no longer need to put up
expensive infrastructure but can utilize their existing facilities to
accommodate more voice and data traffic.

As a result, he said, companies would be able to offer cheaper services to
their customers.

There is no end in sight yet to the saga of global telecom supplier Lucent

P1.2 billion rural telephone contract with government.

Greg Marshall, Lucent Philippines president, said yesterday that although there
are no longer any hitches insofar as the agreement with the Department of
Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is concerned, they still could not
push through with the project due to the absence of a counterpart government
funding amounting to P357.43 million.
