This post tried to analyze the IRR as to whether they address the current issues of telecom: internet and CP scams, cyber crimes, peering, fees and charges by telcos, penalties for telcos on bad service, violation of rules of NTC, and other laws
The IRR seen by this post concerned:
Interconnection of authorized Public Telecommunications Exchanges
IRR of RA 10515 protecting CATV from illegal wire tapping
IRR of RA 7925 which governs Carriers, Exchanges and CP companies/operators
From slideshare - Draft of anti cybercrime law
The laws does not govern mobile services and internet. So the telcos and ISPs can do as they please because no laws govern their action. So NTC is helpless vs scammers, telcos refusing to following peering, or there are no provisions for the charges and penalties being asked by telcos, and even penalties for erring telcos. What we know is the rule of a very old law of which penalizes PU for only P200.00 per day. (about $4.00 per day) Peanuts.
For NTC, it can clearly regulate:
1. radio rf and operations
2. Telephone exchanges and CATV,
How about ISPs and internet exchanges?
Cybercrime - (DOJ yata ang bahala?)
For false internet speed claims - DTI daw? Ano walang pake ang NTC
Akala ko sila may mandate para asikasuhin ang bagong technology sa ICT according to Section 15 of RA 7925
