Everyone (except the telecoms) hailed the order of the NTC mandating a per pulse or 6 seconds billing system for voice calls. The NTC memorandum circular was issued last July thus giving the telecoms at least FOUR months to comply. The new system should have taken effect last December 6 for same network calls. Other network calls were given an extended deadline of December 16. Guess what? The telecoms have failed to comply and so far the NTC have failed to impose sanctions on the erring telecoms. I'm no expert but it seems absurd that the telecoms are claiming that the new system would lead to network/billing problems considering that all three telecoms are offering unlimited call services and Globe is even offering a per second charging system (Globe requires the addition of an annoying prefix 232).
Government should put its foot down and impose a policy in favor of consumers. Consumers have actually been complaining of the per minute charging system for YEARS.
