NTC dropping proposed capping of bandwidth

Lest we forget, several telcos are already implementing broadband caps on their substandard services. The NTC must correct this absurd situation.

Alongside the disclosure on minimum speeds and reliability, telecom companies however would be allowed to set a maximum volume of data allotted per subscriber per day.
