The Philippine Chamber of Telecommunication Operators (PCTO) on Wednesday, Sept. 30, raised due process concerns over fines imposed by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) on telecommunications companies following its latest network performance validation, questioning both the timing of the penalties and the technical standards used by the regulator.
Smart Communications and Globe Telecom have taken contrasting positions on the National Telecommunications Commission’s (NTC) findings on mobile broadband performance, with Smart saying it would work with the regulator to validate and address the issues while Globe questioned the findings based on separate government data.
Users in Metro Manila have a distinct mobile broadband speed advantage over their counterparts in other cities in the Philippines, according to mobile analytics firm Opensignal.
