The ZTE Broadband Deal
Wednesday
Sep 5, 2007
What’s the deal with the ZTE Broadband issue that the Philippine media is abuzz with, anyway? I have my very own ZTE Broadband thing:
And it’s sitting right on my desk – my ZTE DSL modem. It’s ZTE, and it’s for broadband, isn’t it?
Update
I’ve posted an update here, in case you’d like to read more about the ZTE NBN Project.

zte deal….plagi nlng yan ang issue sa tv..nkakasawa na..ok lng sna kc ang mga faults ng gobyerno ang pinag uusapan kya lng ang ibang pulitiko ay anagamt nlng i2ng taktika in preparation 4 d 2010 presidential election…the issue is very compllcated..!!!!!!and also the corruption in the government offfices is one of the reasons y the pilipino people are rallying outside….according to PGMA,they can still handle their respective post but……..we cannot deny the fact that wt can they handle is the money towards their pockets….

ang ZTE po ay may overpriced deal na $329 million. ngayon, ang 50+% ng $329 million na yan ay mapupunta sa bulsa ng mga nasa mataas na posisyon. hindi ba isa itong malinaw na kurapsyon? ang punto, kung nagagawa nila ang mga ganitong bagay sa isang international na deal paano pa kaya ang mga local deals?

good oppurtunity na sana para sa Philippines ang ZTE deal, pero dahil sa mga naaaninag sa kinang ng pera ay napasama tuloy ito and it’s gonna cause chaos in our country…amateur writers like us really want to know the truth behind it and we hope we can distinguish who among them is telling the truth…..
…hay!sayang!matagal na sanang umunlad ang Philippines kundi dahil sa mga corrupt officials na toh!

for me, it makes our country more hightech and joining the global world through this deal but it has a big effect to the people in our country because the moral of our government officials are destroyed and corruption is present over the issue. Logically speaking, it is very clear that there is something that is happening with regards to the issue.

I wonder why words s not enough to promise humanity but the work and action itself will speak out and prevail the reality which is “TRUTH”. Hoping dat wi will not b passive enough about the issue and what is happening in our country today.

ano ba? kamusta naman…
ang zte po ay isang business transaction bet phil gov’t and a private chinese company. ang lagay eh mag-iinternet ang lahat ng gov’t offices ng pilipinas pero xempre may bayad. ang bayad eh utang. iuutang ng pilipinas sa kanila din. LOAN ang tawag doon.
ok naman siya dahil makakatipid daw sa communication expenses ng gobyerno. So anong problema? Bakit naging big deal ito? ang sagot eh 130 mil dollars overpriced.
ayon sa star witness, jun lozada ung 130 mil dol ay kupet ni abalos, (si abalos ang may pakana ng project na ito.) siyempre nagsitaasan ang kilay ng senador (esp ang opposisyon)
pano naman sinasabit sina (evil and bitch) pres and fat fg? ksi daw alam na nilang may problema ung kontrata eh pumirma parin. bakit daw? kasi daw meron din silang kupet dun. tumatanggap din DAW sila ng lagay.
sana ay naliwanagan ka… kung hindi magtanong ka na lang ulit at try ulit nating sagutin…
