“A private monopoly is more dangerous than a public monopoly!
• Mobile operators have to pay 1.5% of their gross revenue minus inter-
operator and PTA mandated payments to a USO fund.
• These funds will be allocated to operators in order to subsidize service
provisioning to rural and low income areas.
• No guidelines regarding eligibility for USF payments been set.
(Operators cannot incorporate USF in their business plans)
• No vehicle for disbursement of USO has been established.
Does granting the Wireless Local Loop operators the right to offer
limited mobility and denying the mobile operators the right to Receive
APC premium qualify as fair competition???
