I was listening to news on AIT yesterday when i heard that MTN "^{everywhere you go}" has been banned from further sales of sim cards, due to poor services. I don't know if anyone else has heard about this too.

There are more to be followed: NEPA should be closd down, Waterboard should be converted to Missionary school and all our airports should be grounded

NCC gave them three weeks to upgrade their service delivery. not necessarily banned, but might be banned if they refuse to comply.

good news, i always wonder if NCC is working at all
now they have proved to me that they are

Its seems NCC is asleep or they are hv forgotten their over sight functions on all these operators

thanks to the House of Rep

This noise from NCC that all operators should upgrade their services have been on for sometime now without any significant result

i hope they will follow up on this and not allow MTN go free on this as usual

This is a good move on the part of the NCC but i hope they don't allow this to be swept under carpet o!

Meanwhile, i've been wondering when one will get value for his money from all these operators.

I hope God intervene here - AMEN Ooooooooooooooooo!!!!

NCC needs to introduce such stiffer orders; hence it will make them (operators) to sit-up. 

All along they have been a toothless dog.

hi guys thats interesting they have really been using us. but wait yesterday or thereabout i heard they are unveiling 3.5g tech to their service, please will this be just a business hype with little or no inprovement to thier services?

MyPeace:

So NCC head don correct now.

Good News

Sincerely I'm glad NCC did that. It will make other telcom operators sit up. It is a rite step in the rite direction.

Point Of Correction!

It wasn't NCC that gave the ultimatum. It was actually House of RebelsReps.

So NCC head never correct

good news though. but NCC waited for far too long to come up with such a directive. why so long. if there's bad network for a day, Nigerians would lose over N100M, so such directives should have been made available in their operational agreement so that when such things happen, NCC wouldn't wait for 3 weeks to hit.good work NCC though.

If its TRUE , ITS VERY MUCH IN ORDER .

Someone's woken up finally, in the Naija i know all mtn has 2 do is offer a bribe with 6 figures and "everything is swept under d carpet".

Its high time someone 'stepped up' to these useless telecoms companies. The fact that they paid hundreds of millions
of dollars for licenses does not mean that they should be so profit oriented (to the extent that they neglect proper
service delivery).

The Solution:

1. Servicom needs to play a more active role in protecting consumers from poor service delivery from telecoms
companies (and banks).

2. The head of NCC (Ernest Ndukwe) needs to be more effective and aggressive in handling these telecoms
companies. We need an El Rufai or Dora Akinyuli to head the NCC.

no bi only seun sabi ban naw

@ topic,thats good news.

Very Good. Next fcukaz please

Good for those freaks all they do is collect our cheddars and carry it to south africa, infact they should even be sued,

I dnt think barrin them is good enuf,they should pay a huge fine,that will keep them in check.I wish they'd ask them to pay a fine of btw £50-100 million.

Ah please don't let them ban MTN because am really enjoying their midnite calls.

@ Topic

Thank God, someone's finally become sensitive to our plight. Methinks they should do same to glo, their network has become almost unusable over the last few months,

They should ban Celtel too they have been very crappy of late

infact they should just ban all gsm operators and maybe extend to the fixed wireless operators too, then roll in the drums and smoke signals

@topic
good move though (if implemented )

We need a Dora Akunyili in NCC.

@ carlosein,
LMFAO!!! But those Global warming guys will be all over us o!!

They've been battling NASRDA for a while now. That is one of the reasons why they've got no time for GSM service provider.

Issue's with NASRDA will be resolved soon and the GSM service provider and other telecoms will be faced squarely.

Sitting in ma room listening to rythm FM while surfing the internet this morning and I heard mtn broadcasting their 3.5g network and saying network service coming to your area soon but for now you could get the data card. Guess this is good news.
