[Summary] =>
The Philippine Electronic and Telecommunications Federation (Petef) has branded
as "unconstitutional" a move by Congress to impose a 10 percent tax on cellular
phone operators to give the government at least P7 billion in additional income
annually.
Rodolfo Salalima, Petef president and Globe Telecom senior vice president for
legal and corporate affairs, said that the proposed measure violates equal
protection of law since only mobile phone companies are being singled out to
pay the tax.

The interconnection dispute between Smart Communications Inc. and Nextel of
Infocom Communications Network Inc. is likely to drag on despite the lapse of
the 30-day period given by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for
both parties to temporarily resolve the issue.

The country's telephone density has reached 9.18 percent as of June last year,
slightly higher than the 9.08 percent registered in December 1998 even as only
half of the cities and municipalities nationwide have access to telephone
service.
Teledensity refers to the number of telephone lines available for every 100
persons.
The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) announced that from 6.64
million fixed and mobile phone lines installed in 1998, the figure rose by a
mere 50,000 six months later.
