The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on Saturday said that MTN Nigeria, Globacom and
Etisalat violated the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) process time obligations in the third quarter of 2015.
The commission made this known in its `2015 3Q
Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Report’,
obtained by NAN in Lagos.
The regulatory body said to address the increasing
cases of port request rejections, it had resolved to
monitor operators and take appropriate actions.
“Consequent upon the above, series of compliance
checks were carried out regarding timer violations by donor operators with respect to `validation and
deactivation responses’, which have timelines of two
hours and an hour respectively,” the commission
said. It said that during the compliance check in the
quarter, it was observed that there was a timer
deactivation violation by Etisalat, regarding a
Corporate Port request of over 63 lines belonging to
Neoconde Energy Limited.
NCC said that the company had initiated a corporate
port out request from Etisalat to Airtel on Aug. 7,
2015 at 9.13a.m., but was partially completed as at
1.52p.m. on the same day.
“As a result, these 63 subscribers were unable to
receive calls from Etisalat’s network,” it noted.
The commission also said that a timer deactivation
violation was noticed from MTN, regarding a
Corporate Port request of over 109 lines belonging to Nigerian Breweries Plc.
According to NCC, the company initiated a corporate
port out request from MTN to Glo via lead MSISDN:
07036735494 on August 11, 2015 at 1.20p.m., but was partially completed as at 11.22a.m. on August 14, 2015. “As a result, these subscribers were not able to receive calls from MTN subscribers.
“In the same vein, a timer validation violation by MTN regarding four individual Port requests from
MSISDNs: 08139382308, 08143810152, 08135485305
and 08162108093. “MTN breached the timer of two hours for validation of four port requests from the NPC as stated in the MNP Business Rules,” it added.
The telecoms umpire said that a timer validation
violation was observed from Globacom, regarding 11 individuals and one corporate Port request.
NCC said that Glo had breached the two hours
allowable for validation of six port requests from the NPC, as stated in the MNP Business Rules.
It said that Globacom validated one of these port
requests over nine hours after receipt from the MNP adminsitrator.
“Glo also breached the one allowable hour for the
Donor to deactivate 147 Ported out lines belonging to Reckitt Ltd consistent with provisions of the MNP
Business Rules.
“All the above timer violations are currently
undergoing enforcement actions,” the commission
said.
The regulatory body said that its compliance activity
was consistent with Section 89 of the Nigerian
Communications Act 2003.
It said that the section mandated the commission to
monitor all significant matters relating to the
performance of all licensed telecoms service
providers and publish annual reports at the end of
each financial year.
NCC said it had developed `Compliance Monitoring
and Enforcement’ strategies to prosecute the above
mandate and achieve its objective of fair competition, ethical market conduct and optimal quality of service in the Nigerian telecommunications industry.
