NCC announces plans to restrict Glo subscribers from making calls to MTN lines.

 


In a recent public notice, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has warned that Globacom subscribers may face restrictions on making calls to MTN lines due to unresolved interconnect charges. The notice, signed by Reuben Muoka, Director of the Public Affairs Department, disclosed that the NCC granted partial approval for disconnecting Globacom from MTN Nigeria Communications Plc.


Globacom was given an opportunity to respond to MTN's application and present its case, but after examining the circumstances, the NCC concluded that Globacom lacks sufficient justification for non-payment of interconnect charges. The notice specifies that, after a 10-day period from the notice date, Globacom subscribers will no longer be able to initiate calls to MTN, although they can still receive calls. The partial disconnection allows for inbound calls to the Globacom network to continue.

MTN Nigeria and 9mobile are reportedly in the final stages of negotiations for a potential deal.

  Reports have surfaced indicating that MTN Nigeria, a subsidiary of the MTN Group based in South Africa, and 9mobile (formerly known as Etisalat Nigeria) are currently engaged in advanced discussions regarding a spectrum trade deal. This potential agreement aims to strengthen 9mobile, the fourth-largest telecommunications company in Nigeria, which has faced financial challenges following the departure of key investors Mubadala and Etisalat of the UAE. The spectrum trade option had previously been explored during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari but encountered competition concerns, leading to a temporary suspension. The current talks are leveraging local telecom reforms as a means to overcome obstacles and finalize the deal. Despite concerns about potential dominance by MTN, 9mobile, currently holding a 6.28% market share with 13.8 million customers, refutes the claims. MTN, boasting 85 million subscribers and a 38.5% market reach, has historically maintaine...
