[Title] => Group bucks rural telephone program
[Summary] =>
The Telecommunications Operators of the Philippines (TOP) is opposed to any
revival of the government's P53-billion rural telephone program which the group
said could easily be undertaken by the private sector.
In a position paper, the TOP said there is no reason for the government,
through the now defunct Municipal Telephone Project Office (MTPO), to engage in
providing telecom services to the public.
MTPO ended its 10-year life term last Feb.

[Title] => Private telephone firms shy away from DOTC's `Telepono sa Barangay'program
[Summary] =>
The Municipal Telephone Project Office (MTPO), an agency attached to the
Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), said yesterday that
none among the existing carriers is interested in taking over the government's
Telepono sa Barangay (TSB) program due to its unprofitability and huge capital
requirements.
As a result of MTPO is forced to push through with the multi-billion project if
only to provide the much-needed telephone facilities in more than 20,000
unserved barangays nationwide, MTPO project director and DOTC Undersecretary
Willie Evangelista said.

[Title] => DOTC losing millions on public calling offices
[Summary] =>
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is losing millions
of pesos from the maintenance and operations of public calling offices (PCOs)
installed in various parts of the country.
Rough estimates showed that in 1998 alone, the DOTC, through its attached
agency, the Telecommunications Office (Telof), already suffered a net loss of
almost P40 million.
The 673 PCOs were put up by another DOTC attached agency, the Municipal
Telephone Project Office (MTPO) which has been in existence for almost 10 years
now.
However, the facilities deteriorated to low level

[Title] => DOTC arm fast-tracking P53-B `Telepono sa Barangay' program
[Summary] =>
The Municipal Telephone Project Office (MTPO) is allegedly fast-tracking
negotiations for immediate implementation of the controversial P53-billion
"Telepono sa Barangay (TSB)" program despite merely a month left on its life
term.
A detailed "white paper" prepared by knowledgeable people from the Department
of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) said that MTPO, one of its attached
agencies, is now entertaining telecom suppliers and signing contracts
reportedly upon the behest of certain foreign lending government institutions
which were left unidentified.
