It's a pity these happened. I think NCC overreacted to the cry of the small operators, I was discussing this issue with a friend about impending massive job loss in these small broadband operators. A customer service operator from Spectranet call me to ask why I did not resubscribe. I told her since GLO, MTN now offer 4G network at a cheaper rate with wider coverage, the lady just hung up.
Staffs of Smile, Spectranet, Swift and other operators will be happy with this decision because it's a lifeline for their job.

NCC says the directive is “in order to provide a level playing field for all operators in the industry [allowing] small operators and new entrants to acquire market share and operate profitably. Small operators and new entrants are hereby exempted for the price floor for data services.”

To clear up any confusion that customers might have concerning this issue, NCC says, “For the avoidance of doubt a small operator is one that has less than 7.5 percent market share and a new entrant is an operator that has operated less than three years in the market.”

What is the NCC driving at? Well, for one, we know that it is trying to protect small operators like Smile, Spectranet and Ntel. Their major USP for entering into the market was 4G LTE data services and now that the big telcos have also joined 4G gang, things are not looking good for them. Also, the NCC issued a much-overlooked caveat when they withdrew the price floor last year. The Commission had stated that it could restore the price floor anytime it observed distortion in the market.

As at August 2015, N1000 would have bought a Glo subscriber 1GB worth of data. Today, that N1000 will buy you 3.2GB worth of data. On the other hand, for a “small” player like Smile, N1000 is only worth 1GB of data today.

Methinks somebody or some people went crying to NCC and as a good big brother, NCC decided to do some protecting. Seems I’m not the only one with this line of thought. Daily Trust reports that according to an anonymous NCC official, the directive was as a result of complaints from new entrants who claimed that they couldn’t offer data for the same prices as the big telcos and still remain profitable.

It's now I know that Buhari and his group of inarticulate members of government is clueless , wicked, arrogant, unemotional and useless for the nation. What a pain this government is causing. So the effect of the recession is not strong enough on people for them to think on how to increase data plan tarrif. Na all of them Buhari government and his evil and senseless advisers meet a big misfortune soon.
