IF telecommunications companies can be compelled to interconnect, e-commerce in the country will do even better, the founder of a Cebu-based discussion forum site said.
Gerald Yuvallos, founder of Istorya.net, said the poor quality of the country’s Internet infrastructure is one of the challenges faced by online-based services.
He said the government needs to provide support and the right infrastructure to make the quality of Internet services reliable and encourage more people to go online to buy or sell items.

Although originally created to serve as a forum for discussion, Istorya.net has become an online marketplace for locals. Yuvallos said they created the feature about two years after the site was established, when they noticed most of their members used it as a platform to trade goods.
