The National Telecommunications Commission will be holding a Public Hearing & Consultation regarding the Memorandum Order on Minimum Speed of Broadband Connection. Details after the jump.
We already discussed it in detail here, but this is your chance to be heard in a public consultation.
What: Proposed Memorandum Order on “Minimum Speed of Broadband Connection”
When: January 11, 2011 – Tuesday, 2:00pm
Where: NTC Executive Conference Rm., 3rd Floor, NTC Building, BIR Road, East Triangle, Diliman, Quezon City
If you are for or against this proposed memorandum, I’d encourage you to attend and air your side for consideration by the NTC. Remember that this is just a proposal and can be amended based on public consultation.
This issue stemmed from the recent stories on Globe’s 800MB daily cap, Smart Mobile Internet’s 1.5GB monthly cap and BayanDSL monthly cap of 100GB to residential customers.
