Monopoly in Telecommunications

I just got home from the forum held at my beloved school St. Paul University Manila. The talk was all about Monopoly in Telecommunications. I think that the talk was worth it. Honestly, I don't know if I understand the talk very well because my mind is busy thinking of another thing, which is out of this world. 


The next paragraphs were my insights about the talk that I've attended a while ago. The following paragraphs were the things I've understand in the forum. 

• The merge of PLDT and Digitel and the effect of it to us, consumers.
• The teleco woes like: slow internet connection, 3.00 pesos per minute worth of call (which is quite expensive) and "cannot be reached" 
• The advocacy will not go to rallies (which was good because I really hate rallies) 
• I think the advocacy wanted to have a monopolized telecom so that we, consumer will experience a life without "teleco woes" like slow internet connection. 

I hope that the government will pay attention to this advocacy because I think this will really help the consumers.
