The BOG also delayed implementation for periodicals until July 15 to give the industry time to conduct software upgrades to comply
with some of the PRC's recommendations.
Although dispirited, Jerry Cerasale, senior vice president for government affairs for the Direct Marketing Association, says, "It's not over." There's still a small hope that the PRC will overturn its decision, he says, or that the BOG will at least delay implementation for technical reasons, as it did for the periodical rates.
