I don't undastand dis government,soon data will be come a luxury for elites,why can't dey provide reduced tax or tax holidays for dese startups..if dey push for increase have dey thought of other startup enterprises who rely heavily on internet usage (cyber cafe and co).foreign countries internet cost are almost free,how do dey encourage deir startups dere?...you can't just sit in an office and use ur 80's economics.nah to put CAP on prices. Fuel peg price,dollar peg price,rice peg price,bride price peg, wetin.soon even d air we breathe will have a peg price. 1 Like |

d33types: chigoizie7: Must of you dont even know the small or new entry they are talking about talkless understand the principle behind the new rate. FYI They are Smile,Ntel,Spectranet,Swift and other 4G internet provider. Here is the catch,they enjoyed their base until major telecom provider join 4G train. So will i subscribe to smile and others when my 2,500 for 10Gb on glo which i can use on 4G network is there for me.(Lailai) If govt want to do the right,increasing data rate across the board is not the option(Whoever suggested that should be shot with immediate effect) rather they should set data price for 4G data across the board.Airtel try 2g data only subscription and it worked.So why not do same with 4G instead disturbing my peace. We can all see the reason AIRTEl support the petition someone created thru change.org last month because they yet to have 4G network. IMO Sorry for my bad English 1 Like |

timbros:Disgusting is an understatement bro. The masses are treated like garbage, it is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that NCC is doing a hatchet job, indeed, its a script written by Lai Mohamed, directed by Buhari and acted by NCC for the ulterior motive of making data inaccessible to majority of Nigerians so they wont have the platform to question the government of the day on their apparent abysmal performance! This is a desperate attempt to forcefully silence us or atleast reduce the bedlam that is becoming too vociferous for their comfort. They're are trying to pre-empt a likely mass revolt by the first quarter of next year when things would have become terrible for the masses! 1 Like |

timbros:NCC is working for the small operators, who are probably the same crooked politicians that have brought this country to its knees. If the small operators cannot compete, they should exit the industry. We don't need Small operators who we have to support through price increases. There is no floor price on any goods we buy in the market. Why should we have to pay a floor price for telecommunication. NCC, another crooked government agency with misplaced priorities. 1 Like |

Show me one business that does not have a competition Even in the market If it is not favourable to them they will not lower the price and if any other operator cannot cope then what are they looking for in telecommunications If NCC function is to speak for smaller operators then who is to speak for the masses Yeye people initially they said it will affect the quality, Nigerians said they will cope now they are fighting for smaller operators Dambatta or whatever your name is NIGERIANS are waiting for you oooo 1 Like

recapitalization and merger are still words we use in business. why can't the small operators merge with each other, to compete with the big operators. this our govt keep robbing its citizens to pay foreign companies in the name of providing a level playing ground abi? when mtn decides to ship billions of dollar out of Nigeria to their head office, then, you still see the same people talking nonsense. they kept talking about epileptic power supply as if is our fault, the citizens. am I getting different kind of power supply while they the telcos get another? I pay my utility bills, even when I got it or not. why will that be a reason my govt to deep its hands into my pocket, steal my money, and dump it on their laps of the telcos in the name of a level playing field. it beats me! |

freemanbubble:If despite many anti people policies this present government have implemented, you are just "beginning" to feel it, then I'm not surprised. These evil rulers knows that no matter the level of wickedness they force down our throats, that there will still be hordes of zombies singing their praises even as they match us to golgotha! They will probably stop treating us harshly, the moment they discover that there is nobody supporting them!! |

Xano: There's nothing meaningful in the minister's explanation. Fortunately, I watched the senate hearing live yesterday on channels TV and what I saw clearly was a man trying so hard to defend a huge bribe he must have collected from the telcos. Everything he said was irrational, even the electricity excuse. The fact that price was falling even with the bad electricity situation means the telcos can deal with it and still make profit. So, they've proved they can. In Japan and in many South East Asian countries there's persistent earthquakes that destroy power and telecom installations. How many MTN installation has been destroyed by earthquake? In Alaska, Russia, Mongolia and all the other climes their own problem is ice, igloos that literally block installations to a halt. How many times did ice bring down a GLO installation? You have heard of tsunamis sweeping a whole city and everything on it's way in Asia. How many times did a tsunami sweep an etisalat installation? Of course, corruption means the NCC would provide enebling environment for price increase, then technically deny it. Do you really want the NCC to admit the goal is to increase data price? 3 Likes |

These excuses are not tenable but rather gratuitous and lame one. At the rate this people are going,very soon, you'll ask that landlords should increase our house rate and also demand that we pay for other flimsy rates all to cover up their ineptitude and lack of vision to drive the economy. It's left for us the masses to either accept this or kick against it. They can't keep insulting our intelligence. Enough is enough. They can't possibly make things harder than this, for christ sake. |

They are lying my dear. They have been lobbied (read bribed) to protect the interest of their sidekicks. You don't checkmate monopoly by controling prices. If those so called small companies do not have enough capital to operate profitably they should get the hell out of the industry. And if any monopoly eventually emerges, the government can THEN force it to split itself into multiple independent companies. What this silly folks fail to realise is that for every lazy company they try to protect, there are 100 (if not 1000) self-employed and hardworking Nigerians whose businesses will be destroyed with this ill-fated and greed-driven data increase. The small companies should consolidate their assets to compete, or they should get out. Lobbying for price control is a huge crime against the populace. candy: |
