What is Republic v. PLDT: Eminent Domain Ruling about?

The Bureau of Telecommunications set up its own telephone system using PLDT trunk lines, violating PLDT rules by allowing public use. PLDT disconnected the lines. The court held that while a contract cannot be forced, the government may require interconnection through eminent domain, subject to compensation, as the telephone lines are subject to public use.
