Nigerians Should Expect New Data Price Soon – NCC by fabinfos(f): 11:02am On Jul 22, 2017 |
The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) has said Nigerians should expect a new data price as soon as an on-going cost-based research is concluded. This was disclosed in Abuja by the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Umar Garba Dambatta during a chat with DAILY POST. According to him, the commission had noticed that the level of data usage was growing across the country and there was need for an affordable and acceptable price floor for data. He said this was necessary in order to forestall a price war in the data sub-segment of the telecommunications industry. Dambatta disclosed that the commission was looking at other temporary measures in other to ensure that data services improved. He said: “We have noticed that the level of data usage is growing. This attests to the earlier assertion by the NCC that data is going to be the next frontier. “You recall that NCC attempted to do the interim price floor for data in order to ensure that we do not have a price war in the data sub-segment of the industry. “This of course met with resistance from the consumers; and because the NCC is a listening agency, we suspended the interim price floor. “As I am talking to you, there is a cost-based study going on in order to arrive at an accepted, affordable data price floor which will come into force as soon as the consultants’ work is concluded. “That is, as soon as the outcome of this consultancy that is on-going over data price is discussed,.as usual, and is further consulted upon with other stakeholders who we expect will provide useful information towards arriving at an acceptable price floor for data. “We are also looking at other temporary measures in other to ensure that data services improve. “We are thinking about providing palliatives to smaller operators in the industry. I mean those with about 7.5 percent share of the market. “We are in discussion with them in order to see how we can help them to provide data services in different part of the country even as we are talking with bigger operators to ensure that we find a way to improve the quality of data services.” http://fabinfos.com/nigerians-expect-new-data-price-soon-ncc/

All I've been saying and still saying is that there should be a subscription of ₦100 for 100MB, ₦200 for 200MB and so on, and should last for a month. It will greatly benefit those that don't have ₦1k to sub. 3 Likes |

Afeezoladapo:U said what am just thinking. Do people think this government like to do what favours the masses. Be expecting data increment very soon. Ncc should ignore the data price compitition among the gsm companies. They only need to compel them to improve on their services, especially,this issue of poor network people are experiencing everywhere now. |

All this talk means nothing, those networks will continue to flex is our hard earn cash, what NCC should focus on is TIME BASED DATA USAGE, TBDU, imagine buying 2g of data for two days to browse, and due to electricity absence and some other things, that conspire to give you no time and chance to browse, and boom, the two days is here and next boom, it has expire, chaiii it should also apply to those pay per view, DSTV, STARTIMES, those networks, and companys are riping us off big time |

11Anonymous: Data rate on glo is #1 per MB. which is equivalent to what you are clamoring for. #100 equates to 100mb, and so on. but for their poor service anyway |

What you call price wars is actually competition. What you call 'acceptable price floor' is called collusion or price fixing, which is a crime. You sir, are a horrible thief trying to steal from your own people. 1 Like |
