VoIP was declared legal last August but subject to the NTC guidelines.

Lately, I read that PLDT had lost a case against a company using grey

Their argument was that long distance calls were their personal property 
and hence the act of not using PLDT's gateways constituted theft.
It was thrown out by the Supreme court of the Philippines.

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level, I'm really quite busy.
