The Municipal Telephone Project Office (MTPO), an agency attached to the
Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), said yesterday that
none among the existing carriers is interested in taking over the government's
Telepono sa Barangay (TSB) program due to its unprofitability and huge capital
requirements.

As a result of MTPO is forced to push through with the multi-billion project if
only to provide the much-needed telephone facilities in more than 20,000
unserved barangays nationwide, MTPO project director and DOTC Undersecretary
Willie Evangelista said.
