TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACCESS
SERVICES
 |
Through the
Building Access eXchange (BAX) Program, Century Asia Corporation
established alliances with leading carriers and providers such
as Bayantel, Bell Telecom, Broadband Philippines, Dream TV, Eastern
Telecom, Inter.net Philippines, Meridian Telekoms, People on Internet (POI), to offer their
brands and flavors of local and international telecommunication,
cable TV and broadband Internet or data connectivity in the buildings.
Telecommunications Access Services
are already available in buildings such as Liberty Center, Medical
Plaza Ortigas, One Magnificent Mile, Oxford Suites, Pacific Star,
Prestige Tower and Le Gran Condominium.
Building owners and administrators
are very responsive to the services. A single relationship with
Century Asia Corporation automatically extends to the growing
number of carriers and providers who are part of the BAX program.
Immediately, the burden of having to deal with each and every
carrier and provider wishing to enter the building is eliminated.
More importantly, the building owners value the increased retention
of tenants and greater marketability of the property.
Building occupants benefit from a more diverse choice of offerings
and competitive pricing brought about by the presence of multiple
carriers and providers. This environment decreases waiting time
for installation and upgrades and promotes closer attention from
the carriers and providers on the quality of the services they
offer. Should an occupant find the service of a current carrier
or provider unacceptable, alternatives are available within hours
if not minutes. On the other hand, redundancy becomes more affordable
and realistic.

The carriers and providers who
are part of the program are likewise very enthusiastic. For some, it
opens new markets. For others, the ability to provide better service.
A number have even developed new products specific to the opportunity.
