We welcome reports that the National Telecommunications Commission has removed the broadband cap clause in its controversial draft memorandum-circular on minimum broadband speeds. This is a victory of Filipino netizens over abusive telcos who wanted to get away with highway robbery.
But that is not enough. With the broadband cap already set aside, the NTC should use all its powers to address the mounting demands of Filipino internet users, big and small, for #betterinternet and to curb the abuses of the telcos.
Lest we forget, several telcos are already implementing broadband caps on their substandard services. The NTC must correct this absurd situation.

Finally a win! A big step for our personal freedoms. Now, if only the rest of the world does the same for everyone.
