I’m now breaking my self-imposed blogging hiatus because I read earlier today (really early like 2 AM!) the draft of a memorandum circular by the National Telecommunication Commission about their plan to have all content developers (i.e. bloggers), providers, etc… registered.

Contents, Information, Applications and/or Electronic Games Providers, Contents Developers, Information Sources, Applications Developers, and Electronic Games Developers are required to have commercial presence in the country and shall secure Certificate of Registration (COR) from the Commission.

My initial reaction was one of incredulity. Registered, ey? And then there will be a registration fee. My eyebrows were raised ceiling-high! At an unholy hour. My gawd. I really could think about a million and one  benefits the department can reap from the registration *smirk*

Then when it all started to really sink in, I could only laugh my wicked witch laugh. This is all really hilarious. (And that’s the understatement of the year!)
