Philippine to finish 3G guideline in 2004

November 26, 2003

The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has installed a five-man committee to establish government rules on 3G mobile services said a top official. The comment was made during the second annual IT forum of the IT Journalist Association of the Philippines known as Cyberpress.

A draft guide is expected by the first quarter of 2004 and finalised rules by the first half of next year said Edgardo Cabarios, director for common carrier of the NTC and one of the five member committee.

The committee will decide how many 3G licenses to hand out and whether to allow existing operators to take part in the bidding process. Given the limited spectrum allocation for 3G mobile service it is expected that only a limited number of licenses would be given out.

"We might bid out the frequency that will be allocated for 3G after the rules are out," said Cabarios.

EDGE technology, an upgrade of GSM, is seen by some as an alternative to 3G. It has a respectable data transmission speed but cost less to deploy than 3G. Both Smart Communications and Globe Telecom are testing EDGE network at the moment.
