Arizonaguy: You can regulate quality of service. You cannot regulate price. Is that too much for you to understand? If I choose to charge 2k per Gb , you have the option of moving to a different provider. These are not the days of nitel |

I hope these rabid telecoms see the wisdom in the minister's directive and act accordingly. Data cost is too high. I just can't fathom why our population cum market should be our Archiles 1 Like |

ornicus: Oga, please stop that. You know nothing about what you are saying. Who told you regulation of price of petroleum products is responsible for the bad state of the refineries? It is not true...corruption is. Do you even have the slightest idea what these telcos post as profit after tax? Regulating telcos is an important part of enabling business as communication, just like energy, is the lifeblood of any business and economy. With Nigeria's huge population, it's needful that telcos are properly regulated to ensure that they are not taking undue advantage. No one is saying that they should not recoup their investments. I am surprised you said that no one can force them to adjust their prices. That's actually ridiculous. Recall that they aren't also being forced to stay. They are at liberty to leave. If you know about economy of scale, then you should reckon that a country the size of Nigeria should enjoy cheaper data and call rates than several other countries. The whole talk about peculiar challenges and what have you, makes no sense at all. 4 Likes 1 Share |

At the end of the day the govt is to blame. The enabling environment is not there at all. The cost of doing business is very high and the telcos just pass this cost on to the end users.the same applies basically for every business from banks to telcos to even the common trader on the street. Telcos and their logistics partner pay through their noses to keep the bases stations running bearing in mind that these bases stations run on diesel 24-7. Each also must have a security guard on site otherwise vandals come and steal their equipment. I recently read it online somewhere that it cost more to transport a 40ft container from lagos to the South East than it cost to ship same from China by sea. Also, the cost of clearing the same container is the same as the cost of sea freight and this is minus the uncessary delays at the port. Roads are bad, police check points every where etc. So let govt do the basic which is to create the enabling environment, deploy the basic necessary infrastructure And then they can talk. Asking Telco to reduce cost of data is not an issue. All they will to do is migrate y'all back to 3G or even 2G which is a cheaper infrastructure to maintain and comply with the minister's directive. Instead of us to hold govt accountable and demand for the basic things they should do we are busy gagging the few private sector firms trying to make this country work. Same way people will come and be abusing dangote. I know of a cluster of bases stations in the niger delta that for you to get diesel to the area to power the base stations you have to pay almost five times the cost of the diesel as bribe to the militants controlling the area. At some point the telcos even hire some of the militants as security men paying and housing them. The same militants will go and steal the expensive base station equipment and sell in the open market causing service disruption. At the end of the day telcos got tired and shut down like 15 base station in that location and set up same in a neighbouring country. I know of banks that spend billions on diesel yearly God bless Nigeria 4 Likes 3 Shares |

CoolAmbience: you are a typical small pikin who collects money without asking how it is made. are you paying for their diesel? are you paying for their solar power infrastructure? are you paying for their round their clock security of their installations? are you paying for their constant patching of their systems because of free data hack jokers? but you just wake up and start shouting data should be cheap you want cheap data, start your own business all i can see is an over bloated sense of entitlement you actually want to understand what the NCC can regulate, start below rather than pushing your childish fantasies https://www.ncc.gov.ng/licensing-regulation/legal/enforcement 1 Like |

CoolAmbience: What they post as profit has no bearing on this discourse. They are a private company and they have the responsibility of creating wealth for their shareholders. Economics of scale will only make sense if the cost of doing business is low. You don't expect them to price below their per unit cost of data deployment do you? And yea petrol price regulation is one of the major underlying reasons why the refineries aint working. Let market forces control petrol price and see the amount of investments that will flow into that sector. 1 Like |
