The NTC said it has issued an order granting provisional authority to Newsnet, a company owned by businessman Mel Velarde, to operate pay-television and multi-media services in South Luzon, North Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
The Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) said the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) failed to issue the certificate of public convenience within the period required by law.
