Government will pick up the slack left by the private sector in the defunct
Municipal Telephone Development Program (MTDP) when the National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA) completes the review of the individual contracts
already signed with private companies.

Struggling with a tight P62-billion budget deficit target, the Economic
Coordinating Council (ECC) had junked the program, but the Economic
Mobilization Group (EMG) said the contracts that government has already signed
with private companies would still be evaluated by NEDA.

The Economic Coordinating Council (ECC) has decided to shelve the P53-billion
Municipal Telephone Development Program (MTDP), saying that the private sector
is doing a fine job of meeting its commitment to roll out land lines under
franchise agreements with the government.

In its meeting this week, the ECC concluded its discussion on the MTDP which
involves the establishment of public call offices, with private companies as
partners.
