Netopia uses high-speed Internet provided by PLDT. With Netopia’s broad network coverage, Netopia has attracted many large corporate customers for its training, recruitment, and advertising needs.

Netopia is driven to innovate and improve its services using PESTLE
ANALYSIS. The bulk of the entrepreneurs in this industry are men between the ages of 16 and 35, with computer knowledge ranging from advanced user to system administrator. Most of them also love playing online games, keeping up with new advances in computers and gaming equipment, keeping up with the newest advancements in the cyber business, and keeping up with news about gaming teams and tournaments. These individuals, overall, start with a small budget and gradually increase their income. Their work is mostly focused on Internet cafes, gambling lounges, wagering, and other connected companies. Those that successfully arrange their business and earn a profit develop a chain of Internet cafes, and some offer franchises.
If I were a manager would also improve their services because it is helpful to
customers to have an internet café with open space and private working rooms/cabins that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Finally, I'll go with Convenient (central, distinctive, and exceptional) location.
