Palace dismisses Newsnet appeal to operate, deliver services

In a decision dated March 31, signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, the Office of the President determined that the appeal has been rendered “moot,” citing the expiration of Newsnet’s franchise. | zacariansINQ

“Firstly, this Office finds that the appeal has now been rendered moot and academic by the expiration of Newsnet’s legislative franchise under RA No. 8197, whose validity is a pre-requisite for the approval of the subject Application,” it added.

It further explained that the expiration of Newsnet’s legislative franchise effectively disqualified it from commercially operating radio transmitters and receivers, including an LMDS to deliver an interactive pay television and multimedia services, and being allocated with any radio frequency. Apart from these, the Office of the President also negated Newsnet’s claim that the signatories of the assailed orders lacked authority.
