There was a floor price for data. It was taken out last year.

landinfo:
I haven't stopped hating anything FG but for pple to protest against this hike in data price for meis a NO NO.....


1. There was 90% increment in fuel price, Nigerian didn't protest cos they stupidly took it & smiled.

2. Foods became invisible in the market & Nigerians didn't protest.

3. Foods, commodities & products now sell @ 100% of previous price for instance the Sniper biggest size i always buy for 1,200-1,300 is now 2,500 or the retailer decides not to buy & even when he buyshe must make sure that u gave him the money to get it for u....Nigerians didn't protest or sign petition.

4. DSS, EFCC, ICPC, etc are now above the law & can beused to intimidate pple & instead of Nigerians to see the handwriting of lawlessness, they applauded the man & said he shld ride on.

5. Nigeria is in recssion but someone knowing that Nigerians are gullible said "recession was just a word"....Nigerians didn't protest cos they were smiling.

6. In life when I slap u the 1st time, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & so on & u don't fight back, the next time I would not slap u, I would kill, maim & bury u be that now.

7. Govt from FG to State say there is no money to pay salary but ask the voters in the concluded elections, pple got as few as 2,000naira to vote any of big 2 parties, in Edo, Ondo, Rivers, Bayelsa, etc APC Ondo outspent PDP from 4,000 to 6,000 plus cos PDP were giving 2,000-3000....& then u wonder why 9JA be like this

8. There is a BILL currently to increase VAT thru telecommunication by 9%, CBN gov'nor said NCC shld tax more after 3mins of calling & now NCC wey don grow wings don increase data tariff, it just means that this directive is just the beginning of testing the waters.

He does make sense. The floor price was set because companies like Ntel, Smile and Spectranet complained to NCC.

calyto:

What was the floor price?
There have NEVER EVER been a floor price for data in Nigeria.
For voice, Telcos cannot go below 11k/sec(i.e 6.60k/min)

Stop saying what you don't know. The directive was sent to all companies by NCC not on the complaint of anyone

AZeD1:
This is a mischievous report. The increase was not a FG(Presidency directive), rather it came about as a result of complaints of the smaller companies and new entrants (Smile and Ntel).

boostdom:


Do you understand the concept of a free market economy? The companies you listed are not government owned nor government run. Why is the govt making regulations for certain private companies in a market oriented niche at the expense of the sector as a whole? Where is the competitiveness when the public have to pay increased fees to support the existence of private firms? Do you even any sort of critical thought?

Check your reasoning because your submission is clearly not why the price of data services was jacked up.

Well, i am multitasking because i am a very busy person so i may not have broken it down to a level that you will understand.
But you can ask me what you don't understand. Who vex epp? Even if you wan vex, no be with your mate dem?

But i think you should know this-

Unlike voice, there was no floor price for data before now so NCC recently gave a directive that all data plans/offerings must align with a newly introduced data floor price. This benchmark will be painful to data users as some telcos may have to increase their data tariff but it will give these telcos the opportunity of facing how they can improve their quality of service rather than focus on how much competition is selling data.
I disagree that the floor price(minimum allowable price) will be 1.5GB for 3k.
I think it will be between 1200-1500 for 1.5GB.
Does it make small sense now?

openmine:

so u r trying 2 say dat d increment of data is because smile and ntel don't have d "competitive edge" 2 muscle deir way around oda current mobile companies....so if I get u very well,d subscribers will now have 2 suffer because of d obvious inability of small mobile companies 2 "tink out of d box" Abi?

AZeD1:


Go and learn the meaning of floor pricing.
NCC never said the telcos should increase price of data, they gave them a floor price.
The floor price was removed last year with a caveat that it would be increased if there's a distortion in the market.

Educate yourself and learn to separate emotions from logic.

OK, FYI I have been in this industry for well over a decade.

From your link, where was it stated that 'rather it came about as a result of complaints of the smaller companies and new entrants (Smile and Ntel).'

That is my point, no one complained to NCC. Neither FG nor the new entrants gave a directive or complained to NCC

Mama peace warned us that '' by the time buhari is done with Nigeria, even change no go remain for em pockets ''.
We saw all these coming, GEJ even warned us of the consequences of the choice before us, but all you wanted was Chanji. Let us enjoy the Chanji.
