Good day,

FICTAP complains about the price of ABS-CBN TV Plus box because most of the digital TV boxes, the price should not more than Php 1,000 . GMA Network's Affordabox price is Php 888 while some like RCA box, the price range is from Php 999 to Php 1500 depends on the seller, and the antenna type that includes in the package together with the digital TV box.

Questions :

1. Is DTI present in the dialogue together with NTC, DICT and stakeholders for the digital tv system regarding also to the standards and price range, suggested or initial price of the digital TV box?
