Offshoring[1]
of legal work is highly depended on the Internet infrastructure in country
where the work will be performed. Most South East Asia nations and territories
have high-speed Internet connections in urban and suburban areas. However, in
rural and undeveloped areas Internet deliver may be weak or non-existence. In
the Philippines there are five main Internet providers: Sun[2],
Globe[3],
Smart,[4]
PLDT[5]
and cable companies.[6]
The frequency and speed of each of these providers depends on the
socio-economic status of the areas, the number of cellular lines and towers in
the area. A qualified offshore LPO provider should operate in a high
tower area and have a mobile cellular device to ensure continuous Internet
connection.
