From Technology Times: "The Nigerian Communications Commission, in line with section 53 (1) of the Nigerian Communications Act, has on April 7, 2004 issued a Direction to Globacom Limited demanding the payment of a penalty of 34 million Naira to the Commission for flagrantly refusing to reconnect certain private telecom operators 24 days after the expiration of the seven-day period within which to comply"(NCC Head of Public Affairs, Dave Imoko) The PTOs in question are XPT, ITN and Disc Communications Limited (Discom). |

Globacom knows the rule and the law of NCC. I do not think they will refuse to pay.

That's an interesting question. I have no idea where the money goes. Does NCC use all this money for its regulatory activities? Is telecom regulation really that expensive?

Do not forget that this is another way of income for the Government. The money will be accounted for as at when due. Like the inland revenue and other agencies.

Hm... sorry I am just replying this. I am just surprised at the turn of events. I still don't understand why NCC is deciding to make GLOBACOM the scapegoat. There had been cases of disconnection in the past and NCC didn't do anything about it. I just hope that they are doing this with good fate. Anyway, time will tell...
