The Business Mirror newspaper reports that a dispute between a number of the country’s major mobile operators and the Filipino regulator, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), over the implementation of a per-pulse billing regime for cellular calls could be heading all the way to the Supreme Court. The paper notes that with the telcos all bitterly opposed to the new scheme an escalation in the legal case now seems inevitable after the Court of Appeals (CA) denied the motions for reconsideration filed by the telcos and the regulators. The eleven-page decision signed by Associate Justice Hakim Abdulwahid stated: ‘The motions for reconsideration and the motion for partial reconsideration filed by Connectivity Unlimited Resources Enterprises (CURE), Smart Communications, Globe Telecom and Innove Communications, respectively, and the motion for partial reconsideration filed by the NTC are denied for lack of merit.’ The resolution was circulated on 19 January 2012.
