Broadband charges may go down

The city’s broadband service tariff may have room for a decrease this year, the government told the follow-up committee for public administration affairs of the Legislative Assembly yesterday. The announcement came from the president of the committee, Chan Meng Kam, noting that the government did not disclose specifics on the decline in the rate for the service fee. The AL sub-committee claimed that it would meet with different local telecommunications operators to discuss their services soon. Meanwhile, the Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Raimundo do Rosario, told reporters following his meeting with the committee that the government is responsible for the supervision of the charges of telecommunications services in order to keep them at a reasonable level.
