NTC says Broadband can be regulated

Looks like the NTC is actually listening to Internet broadband users now as they said that broadband internet services CAN be regulated.

The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) last week said that broadband Internet services can be regulated, not withstanding provisions in the law saying that value-added services (VAS) are deregulated.

I hope this means better Internet access for anyone who can afford to have one. However questions abound:

  • With the quality increase in Internet connection, will it also mean higher costs?
  • How much NTC regulation should be allowed?

The last question lingers in mind as I try to be optimistic for betterment of the Philippine’s Internet access.
