The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)
on Monday said it has withdrawn the “data floor
price’’ for operators in the telecommunications
industry. “Floor price’’ is a government or group-imposed
price control or the limit a price can be charged
for a product to check unhealthy rivalry among
players. In a statement in Lagos, the commission said that
the withdrawal was in a bid to ensure
sustainability, growth and development of the
data service market segment. “However, the commission will restore the floor
price if any distortion is observed within the
market segment,’’ it said. NAN reports that with the withdrawal of the
price, telecommunications industry now has the
permission of NCC to charge subscribers lower
than the set lowest industry prices. The regulatory body had in May 2013 imposed a
price floor on telecommunications operators in
the country as a means of controlling anti-
competitive behaviours by operators considered
to have attained the dominant status in the
industry. Such anti-competitive behaviours include
charging calls within their networks much lower
than what they charged for calls terminating on
other networks. With this, the operators might just be setting up
calling clubs – a practice where subscribers just
call those within the network of their own
service providers.
