Isberto believes, however, that a 'dramatic' increase in broadband Internet use could only happen if desktop PCs become cheaper and as computing devices become smaller and more powerful.

'Wireless broadband is already widely available. The infrastructure for access is already there. And that's the advantage of wireless, you don't need to lay out cables in order to deploy it,' he said.

Smart offers wireless broadband Internet under the brand Smart Bro. According to Isberto, Smart has deployed hundreds of wireless broadband radio base stations nationwide and cover areas as far as Mountain Province in the North.
