By Sunday Etuka, Abuja
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says it has commenced pre-enforcement action on Starlink over unauthorised price hike.
NCC Director of Public Affairs, Mr Reuben Muoke who disclosed the development in a statement on Tuesday said the action follows the recent decision of Starlink to unilaterally review its subscription packages upwards without regulatory approval.
The telecoms regulator said the action of the company was in contravention of Sections 108 and 111 of the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA), 2003, and Starlink’s Licence Conditions regarding tariffs.
NCC disclosed that it commenced pre-enforcement action on the licensee on the 3rd of October, 2024.
