Telco giant PLDT also sounded the alarm over cybersecurity issues because of the measure’s open access mandate.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology, however, maintained that the Konektadong Pinoy law would bring more benefits as it addresses roadblocks “by streamlining the licensing process, promoting infrastructure sharing, and allowing new and smaller players to invest in data transmission infrastructure without requiring a legislative franchise, an outdated requirement unique to the Philippines.” Marcos last January certified the bill as urgent to “facilitate the development of robust and resilient communications infrastructure” in the country.
