The Federation of International Cable TV and Telecommunications Association of the Philippines on Wednesday denounced the planned stricter penalties on cable and internet operators, which it described as “harsh” and “prohibitive.”In a statement, the FICTAP said the proposed Memorandum Circular of the National Telecommunications Commission — which would impose penalties from P5,000 to P2 million daily — did not consider the plight of providers composed of micro, small, and medium enterprises .
”“he situation will ultimately result in the return of the unwelcome duopoly in the local telecommunications industry with a death knell for the cable cum internet MSMEs, loss of jobs for thousands of Filipinos and millions of taxes for the government,” the FICTAP said.Tamano also said that the MC may not have undergone the required Regulatory Impact Assessment under the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018.
