THE NATIONAL Telecommunications Commission (NTC) is weighing plans to temporarily disallow local operators from pushing broadcast text messages promoting products and services to local subscribers.

This came about with continuing complaints from local subscribers including one from Senator Aquilino Pimentel, NTC Deputy Commissioner Jorge Sarmiento told INQ7.net. Some complaints alleged that unwanted broadcast text messages charge subscribers once they receive it. Operators, however, denied this.
