Voice Over Internet Protocol (VolP)

HON. EDWIN L. PIANO
City Councilor & Chairman, Olongapo City Telecom Board
OFFICE OF THE SANGUNIANG PANGLUNSOD
Olongapo City

Subject: Voice Over Internet Protocol(VolP)

Dear. Councilor Piano:

Greetings!

The SBMA Telecommunications Department, mandated to regulate public and private telecommunications entities operating within the Subic, has consistently implemented the rules and regulations of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) specifically on matters that promote fair, efficient, and affordable telecommunications services for the benefit of the general public.

Proactively, the NTC finally approved the rules and regulations as well as the guidelines for the provision of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VolP) which we have been waiting for years. We believe that the NTC Memorandum Circular Nos.05-08-2005 and 3-11-2005 will bring about fair and equitable competition and would positively affect consumer choice and welfare.

However, as regulator in our area of jurisdiction, we also would like to ensure that the offerings of VolP services are being provided by authorized carries, service providers and resellers pursuant to the above circulars for the protection of our consumers.

In view of the foregoing, may we request your presence or your authorized representatives in a meeting on March 7, 2006 at 2:00 in the afternoon at the Telecommunications Conference Room, Building 532, Waterfront Road, Subic Bay Freeport Zone to discuss our proposed sweeping inspection of all the Internet Service Cafés and ICT Establishments on your areas for verification of the appropriate permits and licenses for the offering of the VolP services.

We trust that you shall this matter your most preferential attention.

Thank you very much.

Very truly your,



JOCELYN D. COLLINS
Department Manager
