Corporate Profile
It was in 1993 when the Department of Science and Technology contracted ComNet (Computer Systems Corporation) to setup a wide-area network(WAN) that would connect various local universities and research organizations to the Internet. Commercial insights on the success of this project eventually gave rise to Mozcom, "The first commercial Internet Service Provider in the Philippines."
Established by Dr. Willy N. Gan and Dr. William T. Torres, Mozcom came to be the first ISP to have offered different levels of connectivity, serving both corporate and individual users thereby making more Filipinos experience being connected with the rest of the world. The Philippines' first leased line connection to the Internet officially became "online" on March 29,1994.
