                    [Title] => NTC orders probe on closure of Easycall’s paging service
                    [Summary] => The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has ordered an investigation into the impending closure of the last remaining paging sites of Easycall Communications Phils. Inc. (ECPI) following a complaint from the company’s Cebu-based paging sub-contractor.


Wilson Yang, general manager of Cebcom Management Corp., has asked the NTC to look into ECPI’s decision to close its paging operations since this was made arbitrarily and unilaterally, without prior notice or any consultation with the regulatory agencies, the company’s business partners and its subscribers.
