00:00According to the Federation of International Cable TV and Telecommunications Association of the Philippines or PICTAP,
00:10according to PICTAP Chairperson Estrellita Juliano Tamano,
00:14there is a provision to regulate the utility pole rental.
00:19This is paid by internet providers to electric companies
00:23to connect the internet cable from the post office to the customers' houses.
00:29In the Memorandum of the National Electrification Administration or NEA in 2018,
00:35the pole rental is P420 per position of the cable per year.
00:40Tamano said that it is heavy in the pocket of a small cable TV and internet provider.
00:45That's why they should be consulted by regulators.
00:49The Pinoy Bill, which aims to make the internet accessible to the whole country,
00:55has already been approved by the House and Senate.
00:57A discussion was held in the Bicameral Conference Committee.
01:01PICTAP said that they will reach out to President Baumbang Marcos.
01:08The government wants to make the internet affordable.
01:11That's why everyone is allowed to have the internet.
01:14But they are not moving the pole rental.
01:18We will write to the President before he signs.
01:21He needs to read that we need to pay attention to our complaints
01:26before there will be such a law.
