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? 1 Like |

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 dont 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... |
