The broadband cap (limitation) was first announced in December by National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) during a conference of electrical engineers in Pasay City, the proposed circular has undergone several revisions since being drafted in September 2010 “as it continues to receive inputs from the public and positive to public telecommunications entities (PTEs).”

National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), government agency of the Philippines invites all stakeholders including internet service subscribers for public consultation on the draft memorandum on Broadband Data Volume Cap (Limitation). The event was planned to hold on NTC Executive Conference Rm., 3rd Floor, NTC Building, and Diliman, QC at 2:00 pm on Jan 11, 2011.

Why Abolish Internet Broadband Data Volume Cap (Limitation)

It will only result to High Internet Cost but still intermittent connection and poor service, while most of broadband company are already give their blessing to Internet Limitation and junk the minimum speed, it doesn’t mean that user may not try avail high volume of data but doesn’t guarantee internet speed and will only result to discriminate ordinary user and disappointed to high paying subscriber.

For some other reason I know that we are already been on constraint in Internet Broadband Data Volume and its already existing, Connection Intermittent and Poor Service is enough to say that they controlling us in accessing and gaining information online.

The NTC said “the particular clause was suggested by PTEs to prevent network abuse by unscrupulous subscribers who violate intellectual property laws, particularly on copyright, by downloading movies and software, similar to abusive subscribers of unlimited call/text promotions which were primarily designed for person-to-person use but used for voluminous commercial undertakings.”

There a legal way to prevent those subscribers who violate intellectual property laws online they can easily do it if they really want it but limiting its data for download and publish doesn’t guarantee anything.

Downloading copy of movies and software is very few because it’s 100% more accessible and cheaper to access and buy it on street than to suffer on 1 week on downloading it online.

It’s also clear that it will only try to stop the market penetration of cloud computing and will give advance to proprietary software.

The only thing that I see and guarantee in Internet Broadband Data Volume Cap (Limitation) is discrimination to user and greed to ISP.
