– An official of the NCC reveals that some
new entrants into the market put pressure
on the commission to increase data tariffs
– The official says the commission yielded
to their pressure last month when it notified
the operators of the new rate
The new data regime proposed by the NCC
is to begin on December 1, 2016.
The recent directive by the Nigerian
Communications Commission (NCC) to the
five big telecoms operators in the country to
increase their data tariffs is to allow small
operators and new entrants acquire market
share and operate profitably, an official of
the commission has disclosed.

Condemnation has trailed the NCC directive
to telecoms operators to increase their data
tariffs on December 1, 2016.
But an NCC official who pleaded anonymity
told Daily Trust on Tuesday, November 29,
that some new entrants into the market
complained that there was no way they
could break even if they operated on same
data regime with the likes of MTN, Glo,
Etisalat and Airtel.
He said the commission yielded to their
pressure when last month it notified the
operators of the new rate.
