[Title] => A ludicrous telecom tale
[Summary] =>
About two months ago, at a dinner, I was first told about a theory that the telecommunications demonopolization and liberalization process happened during the Marcos dictatorship, through what the purveyor of the ridiculous theory called "the demonopolization of handsets."
I am writing this article not only because the history of Philippine telecom dictates it, but, ridiculous as the theory is, the truth as it happened, has to be told, and the purveyor saved from the disgrace of being called an utter fool.

A lot has been said about the kind of war two giants in cellular telephony, both beneficiaries of the demonopolization and liberalization effort we started as early as 1987, not in 1995, as quite a number of people think, when R.A. 7925 was passed.
