This is nonsense! I thoughht the telecoms sector was deregulated? Why is NCC now fixing prices?!

This is why I'm always alarmed when the government talks about deregulation, especially in the Power and Petroleum sectors. You can't deregulate, then come back to regulate prices. You have to leave that for the factors of demand and supply.

The NCC should focus instead on ensuring that the networks fulfil all the set conditions which they agreed to while obtaining their license. They've still not reached the coverage area they set out achieve before 2007.

The truth is that once supply of any good or service is adequate, or excessive compared to demand, the price will drop.

Haaa, Nigerians! Very easy to Fool!

Why cant NCC look into the fraud called Data Plan?


You pay for Internet but hardly use it at all (E go cut small, then E go cut looong!).... but your Money is gone already!

If and when internet is good and stable, you will make Voice calls and Text for free now (Skype, Messenger, Whassap, e.t.c).
Even stream Video without headache!


When they know that the TELCO's are rarely affected by such directive, why wont they be strutting and pretending like they are "doing something"!


Reduce the darn price of Voice Calls and Internet/Data Plans......then l would salute you.

Gerrout joor!

Lastpge!

kpozite: Just in time for valentine. But I prefer reduction in call tariffs. Is NCC afraid of these guys (telecoms)?
there is a cap on calls too by ncc i think it is around 50naira or so nd the networks wanted ncc to remove the cap sometime back which ncc refused .although they the networks are making huge profit we must understand that they are working in a very challenging business enviroment and the lack of good stable power supply has been their major excuse for their high cost and high charges.i dont see any possible downward review of their call charges anytime soon.but anything can happen sha

ebamma: Instead of telling them to reduce their call tariffs,who gives a damn about sms this days

Abi? That's the koko of the matter.
But the reduction is quite good. These days many people hardly send SMSs when they have BB and email services.

Another important thing they should do is to improve the working condition of the Nigerian workers in the telco companies. There are too many Nigerian contract staffs.

This is a wrong way to go about things. Now that NCC acted dictatorially Nigerians did not complain yet they are the same people who will accuse the leaders of not doing things right. Nobody should tell me how much to sell my goods and services. It is my customers that will decide. If they feel my pricing is unfavorable then they should seek other alternatives. It is the duties of NCC to make other alternatives readily available. For starters they should lower the licensing fee paid by new entrants into the telco market. They ashould also regulate inter connectivity issues among the operators. Price fixing kills business initiatives.
