DICT to cut red tape to expedite improvements in PH telecoms

Listen to article

اختتمت مؤتمر تكنولوجيا الاتصالات في الفلبين اليوم الأول أمس، 9 مارس 2017، في المنتدى PICC. كان الفريق المحكم بقيادة وزير وزارة تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات (DICT)، الوزير رودولفو أ. سالاليم، وشمل حضورها أصحاب المصلحة الرئيسيين في مجال الاتصالات، المستهلكين، مقدمي الخدمات، والجهات التنظيمية لمناقشة كيفية تحسين خدمات الاتصالات في البلاد. أحد هذه النقاط هو ببساطة تقليص الإجراءات الإدارية.

According to Globe Chief Information & Technology Officer Gil Genio, bureaucratic red tape causes a significant delay in securing various permits from the local government units when it comes to the construction of telco infrastructure such as cell sites, taking at least 8 months and involves at least 25 permits. Telcos have been calling for a speedier process.

One of the solutions is to cut red tape and reduce the number of days to process licenses and permits to just seven days.

"Seven days – that should be the number of days to process licenses and permits for putting up infostructure and infrastructure necessary for telecommunications. Two more days may be given for the local chief executive to decide whether to approve or deny a permit, but if after that no decision has been made, the permit should be deemed approved."

Secretary Salalima is confident that if this recommendation of his is followed, the Philippines will be looking at improvements on the telecoms services just after six months.

Ugh, what they’ll probably do is reject the cellsite construction proposal by default.

I really hope that permits if rejected by local officials can be relegated to other applicable departments, depending on the reason of rejection ofc
