TELECOM Tower Watch is calling for a new regulatory regime that could help develop a nationwide digital infrastructure to meet growing demand for fast and reliable connectivity in an emerging digital ecosystem.
In a statement, Telecom Tower Watch, which describes itself as a digital infrastructure watchdog, said Congress “must update obsolete laws and regulations to be digital ready and to be responsive to new technologies that are essential in developing a thriving digital economy.”
It said Republic Act No. 3846, which regulates radio communications, and the proposed Open Access in Data Transmission bill if passed into law “will require telecommunications companies to secure separate franchises for voice and digital data services even when both operations utilize the same network infrastructure.”
