Philippines to Require License to Post Content
I’m attending a hearing tomorrow on a proposal by the Philippines’ National Telecommunications Commission that will require licenses for online content developers.

It’s a public hearing, so feel free to join me. If nothing else, it’ll be good for a laugh. Click here to continue reading “Philippines to Require License to Post Content”…
