RESOLUTION NO. 11
(Series of 2005)

A RESOLUTION REQUIRING IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ONE RATE, ONE PROVINCE POLICY AS MANDATED BY THE NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (NTC) MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 14-7-2000 TO PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATION ENTITIES CONCERNED

WHEREAS, pursuant to the provision of the NTC Memorandum Circular No. 14-7-2000 entitled, “Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) for the inter-connection of Authorized Public Telecommunications Entities (PTE)”, PTEs are directed to interconnect within a province ensuring that no additional cost will be borne by the consumers;

WHEREAS, the adoption of Memorandum Circular No. 14-7-2000 is long overdue for enforcement and implementation by Public Telecommunication Entities operating in the subject area since its implementation took effect last February 21, 2001;

WHEREAS, the application of the Local Calling Service Area had been specified in the said Circular as the areas forming part of the numbering plan, “47” is considered as the Local Calling Service Area. In this case, the subject area comprises Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo City and all local towns in the province of Zambales and Bataan;

WHEREAS, the implementation of ZERO NDD (National Direct Dialing) in the subject area would directly benefit more than 35,000 telephone subscribers in Zambales alone; with multiplier beneficial effect in social, economic and development activities because accessibility and affordability of telecommunications are within their finger tips;
Con’t. of Resolution No. 11, Series of 2005.
