FICTAP chair Estrellita Juliano-Tamano, old as she is, is a dinosaur, analog thinking; using the argument "one frequency license equals to one channel or one program only."

WRONG. Sadly, @gmanetwork gave her the venue to cite her narrative without an expert to debunk her.

NTC announced in June 2010 that the country would use the Japanese ISDB-T standard for Digital Terrestrial Television, issued a circular stating that the country's broadcasters must discontinue their analog services by the transition deadline of 11:59 p.m. on Dec 31, 2015

In 2014, NTC has issued Memorandum Circular 07-12-2014 laying down the rules and regulations for DTTB service to ensure smooth transition from analog to digital television.

Under a digital transmission, one frequency can create multiple channels/program.

3/6

Broadcast firms led by ABS-CBN & GMA7 spent billions of pesos to buy equipment & upgrade their facilities in preparation for the complete shift to digital.

No wonder, there must be some people salivating to acquire the frequency, either to ransack or acquire it for peanuts?

Anyways, Estrellita Tamano, FICTAP chair is against the renewal of ABS-CBN

The Federation of International Cable TV Association lauded the NTC's cease and desist order against ABS-CBN and claimed that the network was killing the cable TV industry in the country.

Lastly, Estrellita Tamano, FICTAP chair, is the 2nd wife of Mamintal Tamano, a former senator.

Senator Tamano and 1st wife Zorayda has 9 children including Atty. Adel Tamano, of Dito Telecommunication & VP Corporate Affairs of Udenna Corp, owned by Dennis Uy.

Also, in advance, I would like to express my apologies to the DDS who are attempting to inject their invalid opinion, or should I say senseless and full of ad-hominem.

I don't tolerate irreverent words, I am always ready to hit the report and block button. Bye, good riddance.
