		<description><![CDATA[In writing this article on securing the cyberspace, I did not intend to discuss the threats of cyber terrorism and cyber war nor what to do in case such dire scenario occur. While I believe that each one of us should be aware of such threats, it is beyond our individual capability to prevent such occurrences. The government should be in the forefront on the endeavor to secure our cyberspace but what are they doing?<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://xicowner.jefmart.com/index.php/2011/10/27/securing-a-whole-wired-world/' addthis:title='Securing A Whole Wired World '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" g:plusone:size="medium"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our ISPs are saying that they are imposing a data limit to subscribers who exceed the prescribed bandwidth subscription so that they could deliver what they promised to us, their broadband subscribers. However, could just be a convenient way to hide the real situation of their systems regarding network capacity and capability to provide reliable quality broadband service?<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://xicowner.jefmart.com/index.php/2011/04/20/using-broadband-cap-to-hide-system-deficiency/' addthis:title='Using Broadband Cap To Hide System Deficiency '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" g:plusone:size="medium"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is now a proposed measure in the House of Representatives aimed to require internet shops and cafés (i-cafés) to be used as distance education centers (DECs) to stream online secondary course instructions, lessons and course materials for public high school students. House Bill No. 3506 (HB 3506) was authored by Rep. Sigfrido R. Tinga and shall be known as "Distance Education Centers Act of 2010" when enacted into law.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://xicowner.jefmart.com/index.php/2011/02/13/hb-3506-i-cafes-as-distance-education-centers/' addthis:title='HB 3506: I-Cafés As Distance Education Centers '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" g:plusone:size="medium"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are all aware of the stiff competition among the telecommunication companies and the mobile Internet service will not be an exemption. The price war for the service has begun so instead of the regular cost of Ten (PhP10.00) per half-hour, smart phone and tablet users can now access the Internet at much lower rates.  Globe Telecom Inc., the country's second largest cellular phone company, recently launched a promotional offer to its cellular phone subscribers who want to avail of its mobile Internet service at rates much lower than the regular.

		<description><![CDATA[Today, as representative of the i-café industry, I attended a nine-to-five activity called Philippine Digital Strategy Workshop organized by the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) and held at UP Institute of Small Scale Industries (UP-ISSI) in Diliman, Quezon City.  The workshop is aimed at the creation of the Philippine Digital Strategy (PDS) which will serve as the guide to ICT development in our country over the next five (5) years. The PDS will be included in the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) currently undergoing formulation for eventual implementation by our national government.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://xicowner.jefmart.com/index.php/2010/11/05/the-philippine-digital-strategy-for-2011-2016/' addthis:title='The Philippine Digital Strategy For 2011-2016 '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" g:plusone:size="medium"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Second Mindanao Internet Café Associations Summit (2nd MICAS) was held last February 18 and 19, 2010 at The Event Centre of SM City-Davao in Davao City. The two-day event was co-organized by the Internet Café Association of Davao (ICAD) Inc. and I-Café Pilipinas, the national advocacy body of the Philippine Internet café industry that has your blogger as its chairperson. My attendance to the summit caused my inability to write new articles since Wednesday, February 17, 2009. I wish to apologize to those who regularly visit this blog for my failure to post updates in the past five (5) days.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://xicowner.jefmart.com/index.php/2010/02/21/failing-to-blog-due-to-2nd-micas/' addthis:title='Failing To Blog Due To 2nd MICAS '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" g:plusone:size="medium"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year to all and may this year and the coming ones be better not only for the i-café industry but for the whole of mankind. May we unleash the tigers in us to combat any bad thing that the evil doers may try to do to you and the industry. Before we can even hope for a better new year, let us first reflect on what happened in the past year so we can go ahead and plan for a more prosperous 2010 and the years ahead. Let me now jot down what I have observed in the Philippine i-café industry in the year that passed. I may miss some significant events that happened to the industry in 2009 so I request that you supplement this article by coming out with your comments on it.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://xicowner.jefmart.com/index.php/2010/01/01/highlights-of-2009-in-the-philippine-i-cafe-scenes/' addthis:title='Highlights Of 2009 In The Philippine I-Café Scenes '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" g:plusone:size="medium"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>
