[Title] => US gov’t bullying small RP telcos
[Summary] => PLDT, Smart, Globe, Digitel or Bayantel may be big by RP standards. But they’re just as small as dozens of state-wide telephone companies in the US, with a few million dollars capital each. Only two US telcos can be called giants: AT&T and WorldCom. AT&T may no longer be the "Mother Bell" of the ’60s, having been forced by antitrust suits to let go of noncore operating units. Still, it’s a multibillion-dollar colossus whose shadow covers wide swaths of the East and West Coasts.

[Title] => RP telcos guilty of unfair practices - US FCC
[Summary] => The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has found six Philippine telecommunications companies guilty of unfair practices and ordered all US carriers to immediately suspend all payments due these local carriers for calls made from the US to the Philippines.
In a decision handed down on March 10, the FCC charged that the local telcos disrupted the US-Philippine networks of AT&T and WorldCom in retaliation for their refusal to agree to the local demand for rate increase.

[Title] => As expected
[Summary] => We weren’t expecting any less.
As expected, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted the position taken by American giant carriers AT&T and WorldCom that the recent termination rate increase imposed by six Philippine carriers led by PLDT is unfair and unreasonable.
I would be surprised if the FCC took the position of the Philippine carriers. Sources say the FCC is comprised of ex-AT&T executives who are out to make sure that the commission protects AT&T’s interest.
