Destiny Cable’s Cebu operation opposed


PACIFIC CATV Inc. wants the National Telecommunications Commission to turn down the request of Destiny Cable to operate in Cebu.

In a filing with the NTC, Pacific CATV said the grant of the authority to Destiny Cable would result in overbuilding and ruinous competition in the industry.

“To allow the entry of another operator that will eat up a portion of the oppositors’ subscribers will definitely result [in] cut-throat competition among cable operators, erasing any hope on the part of existing operators to reap a reasonable income from their investment in the said area,” Pacific CATV stated.

The cable company currently has more than 50 channels in its channel line-up, and other cable operators have approximately same number of channels.

“The cable television service currently being provided by the oppositor meets the standards set by the Honorable Commission . . . [Pacific CATV] uses a fiber optic cable for the trunking systems and .565 coaxial cable for the feeder system. These distribution cables are more than sufficient to meet the requirements . . .,” the cable company said.

It also noted that owing to the cyclic global increase in the oil prices and problem of unemployment, many families are forced to cut their expenditures. “Foremost on the list of the expenses being severed is the family’s allocated money for creation. Hence, the need to disconnect the cable services to said subscribers that leads to lesser subscription revenues on the part of the cable operators,” Pacific CATV added.


We should file a petition to the NTC to Oppose Skycable's move

[Progress Philippines!]

Dapat we have to oppose. They are trying to monopoly the service like what is happening in Danao City.

naboang naman guro nang skycable. first, gipang scramble nila ang signal sa certain channels para mapugos magpa taod ug box ang subscribers, unya ang box kay good for 1 tv set ra. karon kay naay destiny cable, dili nila pasudlun kay ilang gusto, sila ray maka kwarta sa mga taga cebu. dapat jud ni nato i-oppose kay ang subscribers ang alkansi ani.

if ma-monopolize na nila ang cebu.. basig magpatuyang nalang sila og implement og mga increases bisag poor kaau ang ilang services..

karon palang gani the subscribers have been complaining that the service was very poor.. walay klarong signal..

we should oppose the Skycable's move.. klaro kaaung e-monopolize nila ang cebu..

I hope the NTC will approve the request of Destiny Cable to operate in Cebu so as we will have the choices, the better service provider, to subscribe..

dapat lang.... i hate monopoly business.... dapat sab naa competetion to have other companies improve their services....

[digitalsuperman]

hell no they can't do that..

[INFRACTION]

kabati sa services sa skycable...... ngano mahadlok man mo taga skycable? hadlok mo na mo ari ang destiny na mas daghang channels kaysa inyo..... hahahah oppose the request for monopoly

[walrus]

kinahanglan naa gyud competensiya para manindot ang serbisyo. 3 years na ko nagpa-unsubscribe sa skycable kay walay ayo ang serbisyo. maayo unta modayon ang destiny cable sa cebu para magpanindotay sila sa ilang serbisyo. imagine kung usa ra ang telecommunication company basin ang text nato next week pa maabot. kill monopoly!

[sirius]

i think its the same with smart and globe di ba when sun launch their unli call and txt they opposed for that as well and also before they said they are losing money that is why they have to take away free text messages that they are giving before but when sun cellular still launch their unli txt and call they started giving unli txt as well and I think we would not be enjoying those unli txt right now without sun cellular that is why no matter how bad their signal is i am still using their network which "hopefully" their service would be better as well
