The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has banned the sale and use of GSM network boosters (for mobile connectivity) especially by banks, residents, government agencies, among others to improve telecommunications services.

According to a memo released via NCC’s official Twitter account, the use of GSM booster remains illegal in Nigeria, except for certified users.

NCC in the notice said, “the sale, installation, and usage of GSM boosters are illegal.”

In the notice, NCC said it was only exercising its mandate of ensuring the protection of consumers, ensuring good quality of service and maintenance of technical standards of communication equipment, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 131 (1) of the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003.

“Such acts may lead to monetary sanction and/or imprisonment, or both (fine & imprisonment) as well as the confiscation of any equipment used in the illegal enhancement of network coverage.”

Brand Spur Nigeria understands that Nigeria is not the only country to place restrictions on the use of Network signal boosters. India, the United States of America, and other countries have some restrictions too.

What Is A GSM Booster?
A GSM Booster or network Booster is a device that is meant to amplify the network strength of a particular network. Just like its name, it boosts the network signal you are sending and receiving. This means it’s meant to increase browsing speed, download speed, upload speed, etc.

Although there have been no confirmed health-related issues, most people still think that having it in your home poses some health issues. We doubt health is the reason for NCC actions though.

Amazing development...

If it can be banned completely, at least their will be reduction of humans being exposed to harmful radiation which can cause memory loss, headaches and even lower sperm count in the male gender.

These network boosters impedes the signal strength of those not using it. It kind of localised the signal to a particular location band those not in the range of the signal will have to deal with poor network.

A very good example are mostly felt in commercial areas like big markets, Alaba international market for example.

I have being watching a show called Explained on Netflix, touching about different things and explaining them from a religious, cultural, historical and ending with a scientific point of view with evidence.

Watching that show has made me realize Nigeria, is a backward country. I doubt if we can ever catch up to those guys in the West and from my observations the premise all starts with common sense...why, "why is it so"?

What a cum of individuals

H

Meaning ??

Imagine MTN office telling me that there is no network in their office.

Like NEPA telling you there is no fuel in their generator to collect your bills.

This country knows how to encourage mediocrity

All I know is glo is shltty with or without booster

Is that really a problem?

Why not tackle other serious issues like bogus tariff from some network providers like 9mobile

Dem no ban am outrightly, them say you need dey certified to use am, like "I am a terrorist and I need one booster", then pantami will grant you one license

This isn't the reason

There are illegal network spoffers that work with ham boosters while piggy baking the network for illegal financial transactions

after the warning, that's all; no action

Our journalists should learn to confirm some things before posting it as news please.
The health aspect is what we are really concerned about here
