Rep. Simeon Kintanar (Cebu, 2nd district, NPC), chairman of the Lower House committee on ICT, said both committees are studying ways to come up with 'upfront and yearly broad spectrum fees' for service providers Smart Communications, Globe Telecom, Digital Telecommunications (Digitel) and CURE (Connectivity Unlimited Resources Enterprise Inc.).

'The rates of (3G) spectrum users' fees are being reviewed because we want to make sure that the provision of the law, which asks for a reasonable rate, would be applied,' Kintanar said in an interview with Computerworld Philippines.
