Philippines Regulator Mulls Ban on New Customers for Mobile Networks
Published on:
The Philippines mobile network operators may be barred from signing up any new customers if they do not improve their network quality of service, the regulator has warned.
The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) said that it was particularly concerned about the congestion on the mobile networks. The regulator is currently carrying out its latest benchmarking tests to see if the networks have improved since its last batch of testing.
"Actually, after we finish the September benchmarking, which is the third quarter, maybe we can impose that they can't get additional subscribers because additional subscribers congest the network that they have. That is what we can do," NTC commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba said.
Blocking networks from signing up new customers is an increasingly popular tool of national regulators with recent bans imposed in Brazil being a notable example.
