The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is standing by its decision that it is unwise to hold an auction for the entry of a new major telco player.
Young math wizards from the Philippines won 33 medals and awards, including a champion trophy, at the Bulgaria International Mathematics Competition (BIMC) held in Burgas, Bulgaria from July 1 to 6.
Telco industry stakeholders have expressed their preference for highest committed level of service (HCLoS) as model for the selection of a new major telco player over auction during a public consultation conducted by the department.
An MoU was inked by the DICT with the Internet Society on multi-stakeholder governance and the co-development of the Philippine National ICT Ecosystem Framework (NIEF) 2022.
The government will launch a synchronized effort to promptly deal with consumer complaints on telco services such as those involving data privacy violations, text scams, vanishing load, unauthorized charges, defective product, and denial of subscription plan activation.
