WILLIAM TORRES, the president and co-founder of Internet service provider Mosaic Communications (Mozcom), received a special award during the e-Services Philippines global sourcing conference.
Bill, who is fondly known in the Filipino information and communications technology community as the “Grandfather of the Philippine Internet,” was given a special award by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions for his role as an ICT champion. As you may glean from the “Grandfather of the Philippine Internet” tag, Bill played a key role in bringing the Internet to the Philippines, together with Mozcom co-founder, the late Willy Gan.
