Broadband Link,Citizenwatch

Consumer advocacy group CitizenWatch Philippines on Monday said the installation of broadband connectivity should not bear additional costs to internet providers.

CitizenWatch co-convenor Tim Abejo stressed that broadband link is now an essential tool that should be accessible to all individuals.“Having internet connection in every workplace, commercial, and residential area should now be a standard amenity, the same way that adequate utility easements are provided for electricity and water services,” Abejo said in a statement.

Meanwhile, it said that 767 buildings have accepted the zero-lease initiatives, with Makati having the highest number at 105, followed by Taguig at 91, and Quezon City with 57 under Globe Telecommunications.In early April, an independent research organization also called for the revision of the National Building Code of the Philippines to address leasing fees.
