It appears that Meridian Telecom, which is actually being managed by his daughter, has been the subject of complaint from several companies for not transmitting within its band or frequency. And because it has not been utilizing its allocated spectrum, Meridian is saving on spectrum users’ fees.

                    [Summary] => US telecommunications giant AT&T yesterday finally broke its silence and accused Philippine carriers of blocking calls from the US to the Philippines and raising their call  rates to the detriment of local customers.


On the other hand, local carriers are saying that AT&T and Worldcom are muddling the issue which is a simple sharing of call revenues. "AT&T and Worldcom can choose to forego some of their profits and allow us to increase our share, without increasing the call rates to the customers," they said.
