The Better Broadband Alliance (BBA) has called on Congress to pass the Open Access in Data Transmission and Faster Internet Services bills to address poor Internet access, especially in the rural areas.
In a letter sent to House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco and Senate President Vicente Sotto III, BBA urged the passage of two key policy reforms to heed Pres. Rodrigo Duterte’s repeated calls to improve telecommunications and Internet services.
