DICT

The DICT said common tower providers and telecommunication firms need not worry about securing permits for telecommunication towers as the agency will take care of that concern.

According to Sen. Nancy Binay, the Office of the Solicitor General should ensure that all contracts have a clause that all data handled by third-party data management providers would revert to the government even after the termination or end of its contract.

The agency said it is mandated to provide oversight on government agencies handling personal data in order to ensure its privacy and security.

With the adoption of a ?game-changing? labor policy through the passage of the Telecommuting Act, the government is urging telecommunication companies to level up their game to provide reliable Internet connection for workers.

ISOC Infrastructure Inc. was the first to sign an MOU with DICT on December 20, 2018, and at least three others, are expected to follow suit.

Local firm ISOC Infrastructures Inc. has signed an MOU with the DICT to become the first common tower provider in the country.

Recognizing the different efforts of the DOST, DTI, and DICT to nurture technology business incubators (TBIs) in the country, the MOU binds the three departments to harness their programs and projects in putting up a conducive business ecosystem for startups.

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has ordered the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to promulgate rules and regulations for telco entities to mandatory unlock phones and devices after its lock-in period.

In a joint statement, Senators Franklin Drilon, Risa Hontiveros, Leila de Lima, Francis Pangilinan, and Antonio Trillanes IV said they don't want the winning consortium to become another NBN-ZTE scandal.
