Nigeria - There are reports that the NCC might cut off MTN over the recent hefty fine meted out to the South African country.
Excerpt from The Sun:
The telecommunications umpire, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), may soon stop all regulatory services to MTN Nigeria over the N1.4 trillion (about $5.2bn) fine imposed on the network operator.
Although, the regulator is yet to come out with any statement on the matter, but Daily Sun reliably gathered that, from all indications, MTN may bow to the order or face more technical sanctions.
MTN was slammed N1. 4trillion for failing to obey NCC directives to cut off 5. 1million subscribers who were not properly registered on its network.
According to the regulator, by so doing, MTN Nigeria is undermining efforts by the Federal Government to tackle the security challenges and the war on terror and allied crimes.
