#memorandum

One such memorandum was an NTC Circular on Data Log Retention of Telecommunications Traffic. This memorandum was part of the implementing rules to support the Consumer Protection Act. Prepaid loads will now have an extended one-year expiry from its initial load-up, thanks to a new Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and National Telecommunications Commission joint memorandum agreement. Under the said joint memorandum, prepaid loads containing any amount have been extended to one year before it expires. Excluded from the memorandum are the ones that include a specific period of time before it expires or prepaid loads that are included in promotions. Along with the Department Memorandum No. NTC Commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba signed the official Memorandum Circular (MC) on the Rules and Regulations on the Selection Process for a New Major Player (NMP) No. The new player is expected to be revealed by December of this year.  The memorandum uses the Highest Committed Level of Services (HCLoS) as the standard for identifying the 3rd Telco.
