 To be able to operate telecommunications services, an organization will have to first secure a congressional franchise and a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) which will prove their financial, technical and legal capability to offer the proposed services. On top of this, carriers (including small local operators) also have a number of other licenses they must acquire for operation, including environmental clearance certificates, height clearances, and the local mayor’s permit. All in all, there are as many as 25 permits needed for each cell site. The sheer number of required permits is very difficult for a small entity to complete.  To be able to operate telecommunications services, an organization will have to first secure a congressional franchise and a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) which will prove their financial, technical and legal capability to offer the proposed services.

 +==== International Connectivity ====
 +
 +As an archipelago of more than 7000 islands, the Philippines' international access and connectivity is supported mainly by submarine  cable systems. Overall, as of first quarter of 2016, there are seven (7) international submarine cable landing stations which are  operational (active) in the country. These are operated by PLDT, Globe Telecom and Telstra/Pacnet. 
 +
 +To supplement  submarine  cable  systems  connecting  the  country  globally  and complement  the  domestic  backbones,  there  are  at  least eighteen (18) satellite providers that cater their VSAT services in the country.
 +
 +==== Domestic Connectivity ====
  
 +The backbone infrastructure comprise of PLDT's Domestic Fiber Optic Network (DFON) and Globe Telecom's Fiber Optic Backbone Network (FOBN). In addition to this is the National Grid Corporation of the Philippine’s (NGCP) private telecommunication network nationwide.

 +On a policy standpoint,  the government recognizes the importance of public telecommunications services.  There is a provision in the Philippine Telecommunication Act (Republic Act 7925) that mandates telcos to give high priority in extending basic services to  unserved areas. Moreover,  it  stipulates  that  "government shall promote a fair,  efficient and responsive market to stimulate the growth and development of the telecommunications facilities and  services  at  affordable  rates."  However,  there  are  no  existing guidelines to implement the said provision of the law.
