The Anti-Red Tape Authority revoked a declaration granting News and Entertainment Network Corp. and Now Telecom Company Inc. (NOW) automatic

approval of their 16-year petition for radio frequencies from the National Telecommunications Commission.

Documents obtained from ARTA showed the agency did not follow up and filed an appeal before the Court of Appeals after the Department of Justice upheld NTC’s mandate to evaluate and decide on matters involving frequency assignment. The two ARTA resolutions which followed the ruling laid down by the Department of Justice decision dated July 9, 2021 restored NTC’s supreme authority over the assignment of frequencies particularly on the request of Newsnet and Now Telecom.Documents showed that Newsnet and Now Telecom filed before ARTA two separate complaints, in 2019 and 2020, respectively, seeking automatic approval and assignment of various frequencies. ARTA granted the request of both complainants.

The DOJ reversed and set aside the order of automatic approval issued by ARTA in favor of Newsnet, saying that the EODB Act was not applicable to NTC transactions with respect to the assignment and use of frequencies.
