Converge Eyes Elon Musk's Space X for Broadband in Far-Flung Areas

Converge ICT said Monday it was exploring technology from Elon Musk's Space X to bring high-speed broadband to far-flung areas of the country.

The IT firm led by businessman Dennis Anthony Uy said it was "always looking for new technologies." However, a talk of partnership between Converge and Space X is "very premature" at this point.

"Converge assures the Exchange and its investors that it will promptly make the necessary disclosures should there be any material developments in its exploratory talks with possible partners," the company told the stock exchange.
