The number of mobile phone users is expected to reach 58 million by 2010 or a 60 percent penetration rate, which means that 60 percent of the population will be using cellular handsets in three years’ time, an industry executive said.

                    [Summary] => Trade and Industry Secretary Peter B. Favila is supporting a proposal in Congress to temporarily limit the grant of income tax holidays so the National Government can strengthen its fiscal position and achieve a balanced budget.


The limitation of tax incentives, however, would only be temporary and a sunset provision must be included in the bill so that once government has regained its fiscal strength, it can again aggressively compete for investments through the grant of incentives, he said.
