In a statement, the Philippine Cable and Telecommunications Association (PCTA) called for the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 2699, or the Konektadong Pinoy Act, once deliberated in the plenary.
The proposed measure will open up the connectivity industry to more competition by removing the need for data transmission industry participants to secure a legislative franchise or a certificate of public convenience and necessity to do business in the Philippines.
The PCTA said the Konektadong Pinoy Act would enable small-scale operators to invest in telco infrastructure in the countryside without the present barriers that prevent their expansion efforts.
