THE Konektadong Pinoy bill needs to be accompanied by a comprehensive regulatory framework that screens entrants to minimize national security risks, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) said.

In a statement over the weekend, the PCCI said it supports the passage of the bill, also known as the Open Access in Data Transmission Act, particularly its removal of the legislative franchise requirement for telecommunications operators, but called for safeguards to ensure that “only capable and responsible entities are allowed to operate.

“Open access must not come at the cost of our national security or the integrity of our critical digital infrastructure,” it added.

The PCCI said the implementing rules and regulations must be prepared with “transparency and foresight.”

It also supported strong oversight powers for the National Telecommunications Commission with clear criteria for approving and monitoring service providers.

The PCCI committed “to ensure that the Open Access in Data Transmission Act becomes a cornerstone for inclusive, secure, and sustainable digital connectivity.” — Justine Irish D. Tabile
