The Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) and its private sector partners are working together to streamline the construction of new telecommunications (telco) towers by improving the energization process for such structures.

ARTA, in collaboration with PLDT-Smart, co-hosted the “2nd Workshop for Process Mapping the Energization of Telecom Towers.” This workshop, part of ARTA’s “Bayanihan” initiatives, aims to address bottlenecks in the permitting, licensing, and authorization process involved in energizing telco towers in the Philippines, ultimately enhancing connectivity in remote areas.

“The 2nd Telco Workshop aims to address these issues and foster collaboration among National Government Agencies, Mobile Network Operators, and Independent Tower Companies to provide faster Internet connection nationwide,” said PLDT-Smart in a statement.

Alongside promoting collaboration between the public and private sectors, the workshop will feature presentations from government agencies and private partners sharing their recommended practices for expediting the energization of telco towers.

Government agencies participating in the workshop include the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, the National Electrification Administration, the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Philippine Association of Building Officials, the Department of the Interior and Local Government, and the Department of Information and Communications Technology.

The first workshop on the energization of telco towers, co-hosted by Globe Telecom, took place on May 19, 2023.

During the event, several concerns were raised, including non-standardized processes, delays and confusion, inconsistent fees and requirements, as well as a lack of coordination and communication in the energization of telco towers.
