Philippine Competition Act will open the market to new telco players

I have a presumption that telcos had been working very hard to veto everything here that committee has put forward to for fair competition act.

A lot of higher officials could have been bribed for just to head off this law into signing , in my opinion at least.

They know that younger generation can no longer live up with slow internet connection and everybody is addicted to internet, to say the least, so therefore they have taken advantage the situation by providing subscription base plans which eventually capped which leave users with no choice but to pay more.

tapos nyan ay bibilhin na naman ni smart alias pldt ang small successful new comers tulad nung nangyari kay sun cellular! sounds familiar ba? lol!

In my opinion, there’s a hole in this bill, what if “company X” has innovated something that will definitely leave “company Y” far behind the competition? Is that already an unfair advantage? If this is the case, this bill will also stop companies from innovating further to lead in the competition. I’m not just talking about telecommunications here but other businesses as well. Not that I don’t like a third player for telecommunication, I’m actually waiting for this, it is good to have many choices but I’m just saying my opinion about what I think is the negative effect of this bill. I hope senators have thought this through.

Sana binasa muna at inintindi ang bill bago nag react

This bill isn’t enough for a new telco. Raising a new one requires a significant amount of capital. They also need to amend the ownership clause for foreign companies, or force telcos to open for Mobile virtual network operator agreements, with tight oversight from the NTC to make sure they (MVNO companies) are not being screwed over in favor of the parent network.

Same with ISP. I just don’t know the equivalent term for them.

And we can also crowdfund a new telco na may cheaper but quality service to help them rise!!! Shame to Smart/Pldt and Gl0be!!

HOPE.

still, we’re not sure if this law will be implemented thoroughly. because under (sec. 5 Philippine Fair Competition Commission, “The Commission shall be composed of a Chairperson and four (4) Associate Commissioners.” It doesn’t matter kung mapipirmahan ito ng ni PNoy. Yung mga taong manunungkulan dito ang kailangang bigyan ng pansin. To make it short “sino sila?, mapapagkatiwalaan ba o isang suhol ka lng? bago ba ito sa systema ng ating gobyerno o daang matuwid na?

just another simple point of view.

kung sakaling i share ng globe at pldt ang pipe nila for net sa bagong provider sabotage lng gagawin nung mga un so wala paring kwenta and if they dont ang nakikita ko lng na pwding kumalaban sa kanila is ung mga Satellite internet provider

Hello Chinese businesses! Patay na naman tayo neto!

Hay nako nagpapauto nnmn kau sa kalokohan ng gov’t natin, future effect neto ay ” imomonopolize nila ang tech price ibig sabihin ay hawak ng govt ang price control, then magkakaron ng lagayan at dahil jan maapprove mabilis ang pag taas ng presyo sa lagayan at busog nnmn ang bulsa ni politicians. tpos ang sambayanan ay wala nang karapatang makapamili ng mababang presyo dahil regulated na ito ng bulok na sistema, by force wala tyong magagawa dahil gobyerna kuno na ang nag asikaso at nasa batas na, hndi kana pwedeng makapagreklamo dahil nga ito raw ay batas na. You can call me nega, but what i’ve learn in the Philippines is always expect the worst but still hope for the best, siguro yung best ay pano mo nlng buhayin ang saliri mo in your own way. IXY

Wow! an ingenius political brochure, politicians are evolving

Kahit naman magkaroon ng iba pang telcos, inaacquire din ng dalawang telco giants dahil natatabunan din, kaya wala ding silbi kahit magkaroon pa ng mga bago. Look at what happened to Islacom and Red Mobile. Ang ABSCBN mobile is a mobile virtual network operator of Globe kaya same thing.
