Philippine lawmakers mull revised 3G license fees

29.06.2006

Kintanar said Congress is once again calling the attention of the National Telecommunications Communications (NTC) to consider reviewing the license fees paid by four players whether it was indeed 'fair and reasonable.'

Although he admits that this matter needs further study, Kintanar hinted the license fees set by the NTC might not be reasonable compared to spectrum fees in other countries that rolled out 3G.

Kintanar, who once served as NTC commissioner, also expressed doubt whether the current commission has properly evaluated the qualifications of all 3G license applicants.
