AN Official of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has given reason behind the directive to the five big telecoms operators in the country to increase their data tariffs from Thursday, December 1.



The reason is reportedly in order to allow small operators and new entrants to acquire market share and operate profitably.

The NCC official who spoke on condition of anonymity on Monday said the regulator came up with the new data regime after some new entrants into the market complained that there was no way they could break even if they operated on same data regime with the likes of MTN, Glo, Etisalat and Airtel, Daily Trust reports.

He said NCC yielded to their pressure when last month it notified the operators of the new rate.

Meanwhile, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, on Tuesday urged the Federal Government not to increase the cost of data to avoid further pressure on mobile telephone users.

the step itself is a backwards movement from progress. any telcoms isp coming newly into the country that cannot provide cheaper and better internet services should not even be allowed in the country. competition for market share is ideal.

What kind of big lie is this? Is lie mahammed now the head of NCC? I can't believe they are saying this. When did NCC become a mediator for startups in this country? They should tell us the truth; the truth that Buhari directed them to order the telcos to increase data cost so that he (buhari) can do all kinds of evil without being seriously bashed online.

Buhari has nothing good to offer to this country. He is indirectly relegating the FI bill while using this lame excuse and coweding ncc to obey the directives.
The more buhari stays in office, the more our woos is compounded.
Why increasing taxes in this hyper inflationary economy when you are yet to increase minimum wages and no cautioning effect in place,it sheer wickedness.
Even author pilot is better than buhari who don't know what he is doing.

So it is d govt dat'll make d so-called new entrants competitive by coming up with hopeless policies dat is detrimental to both the market and d economy at large. Sometimes some of d excuses d govt coms up with most times makes one really pity these zombies. Imagine a market bending to "new entrants". If dey can't compete with existing prices what d hell are dey doing in d market? Abi is dis still d monopoly era when d govt can fix and adjust prices as it pleases?

There needs to be a regulation to what telcos charge for data, I get where NCC are coming from, they claim they want to give small and new companies a chance to operate and still make profit.

So let's say they put the standard at N1,500 for 1gb. It would create a healthy competition, but then what stops MTN and other big companies from giving out bonus? They are capable of doing that and still make profit. So let's say NCC put N1,500 for 1gb, MTN can decide to give double bonus so at the end N1,500 still gives 2gb.. so how are the small companies NCC claim they are trying to encourage survive? NCC need to have a rentink
