Can you point out were in the article an NCC director stated the bold part?

I am tired of repeating myself, all NCC did was set a floor price, Its your duty to understand the pros and cons of floor pricing and its relevance in this age and time.

pls go back and read d article....and just like u,am tired of having 2 ask u who gets d fall 4 all dese increments... or won't u be affected by the increased data prices...?
won't dese potential increments have an adverse effect on the economy....?

“However, we further gathered that the Federal Government took the decision having discovered that data rates are very low-priced in Nigeria, compared to other countries, including nearby African countries"

but what does this mean cuz am not understanding? ??

calyto:

Not true.
Just like voice calls, NCC only introduced data floor price (The data floor price is the minimum allowable price per MB).
Before now, there was no floor price so any telco can decide to sell data at any price of their choice.

If it is allowed to continue that way, some of the telcos may fold-up which will lead to job loss and also drive investors away.
Just imagine if Vodacom decides to pull their tariff plans down just to kill smaller telc coys like Lebara.
Rather than wait until that happens(since Glo has been pushing them)NCC decided to introduce floor price. For voice calls, NCCs current floor price is 11k/sec.

The price will still be between the range of 1300-1500 for 1.5G

na wetin dey tire me 4 naija be dis. When ppl d trying 2 resist a bad policy like this increase, some idiots wey feel say him sabi speak English will just come and be talking BS. Will this increase not drive investors away, weren't there already job losses. How will a govt. Dats supposed 2 care abt d suffering masses wake up in d middle of a recession and say dat because Nigeria pays low data rates, it should be increased?!? Ur there trying 2 justify rubbish. U must be a slow poke. Take several seats behind.

dustmalik:
Surely there is not a country more useless than Nigeria. This is the worst government ever.

If i hear am. This is the govt you actively support . It shall never be well with those who made this admin possible .

alt3r3g0:
If the people providing the services are not running at a loss or complaining, who is NCC or FG to complain and compare with data plans across the world?

Arrant nonsense

I wonder o. Honestly I'm just observing events and hoping this is some kind of joke. How on earth does a regulatory organisation like the NCC, that is meant to serve the best interests of Nigerians and keep the telecoms companies in check decide to do something like this. Can someone tell me the benefits for the consumers? What is the big picture that I'm not seeing? This country is turning into something else. As if it's not enough that poverty and suffering is on the increase, they have to make sure everybody is miserable.

Toylove:

Just hear yourself out.... Did u make any sense?
Abeg make I no pour vexation and frustration on top u ooo

no mind d idiot

The problem I have with textbook-model pipeliners like you is that you are obtuse about the existential parameters that could make market principles untenable or undesirable.

The soul of a free market economy is competition. Pricing. The history of the Nigerian telecommunications industry provide verifiable data that competitive and aggressive pricing has been the engine behind the overwhelming success of the sector in the last fifteen years.

Without competitive pricing, how long would mtn have continued selling SIMs for over 15k? Thus a militating factor on mobile phone penetration.

Without competitive pricing, how long would mtn have continued to maintain that per second billing is untenable? how about call rates? Data access rate? Heck, wasn't there a time there were two way charges for a call? etc

There is a reason why economics is a social science. Protecting niche competitors in a market where they have almost no footprint is the hallmark of a socialist or communist economy.

Competitive pricing should be fair to everyone.
What do you think would happen if MTN drop on net calls to N1 per minute?

Wic kind wahal be dis

Ofcuz, they try all this nonsense with us cuz they know we will do nothing about it.. We the people are the ones giving them power, nothing will change unless we take it back !

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.

This development is coming when we're barley standing on our feet trying to manage the crisis that we are currently facing, this is an unofficial clarion call to all able Hackers, they have brought the battle to your door step, i suggest you guys start taking down major governments sites starting with NCC, this event cant go unnoticed.

dumo1:

Abeg enjoy where you dey no come back this zoo at all o.

I must come back o as there is so much opportunities in Nigeria!

That prof Umar danfoolish is a foolish prof.
Look at this head like the one who his head was smashed against football goal post.

Is that the best he can do?

Look at MTN also. Even if everyone won't buy d idea, MTN would.
I don't know what their still doing in Nigeria

There will be no way out of this zoo called Nigeria orelse revolution appear. We youth should take what is rightful ours.
We really have to talk to sense to dem

dey should allow us to start paying for the air we breath...
BASTARDS

Then the smaller companies should make better services their stronghold and strength. then NCC should make 1gb data to N1000 as cap price. With that smaller companies can offer at that price with better network services than the bigger companies thereby leading to change in market share in data subscribers

As a small company, no matter how good your service is, if you cannot compete on price, you are doomed.

Those bastards failed us

all these modern slavery wont end unless we stop complaining and start looking for ways to shut down this govt without violence..together we can do it..no one person is greater than the people,no govt is bigger than the people..lets begin dropping ideas on how to make the govt respect and listen to us,its all about sacrifice..

Seun pls, create forum for latest cheats on all networks from 1st December. Thanks

What happened to the price peg of 1gb data for N1000 that I said NCC should do...did you read the front page post about a blogger that started blogging last year, carving a niche for himself and beating others that are professional in the same niche??

AZeD1:

What do you think would happen if MTN drop on net calls to N1 per minute?

What now happens to the impoverished subscribers ? You better learn to keep shut.

I ignored the price peg because your suggestion didn't make sense. How can you compare blogging to telcomms? Seriously?

This bullshit won't stop until Nigerians hit the streets. No government is bigger than the people. Hit the fvcking streets.

How sir?? If we should converge now, its an offence. The only means now is the internet and they are about to cut that off....we need a "jerry rawlings" that's all...

I support APC but this is a no no to me, what do the FG mean by our price is cheaper than other countries? What crap! Are they trying to gag online critics or what? I don dey tire with APC o.

Hope this ain't true especially in this recession, hian!

They survived before the floor price was removed, they'll survive now that it has been reintroduced.

“However, we further gathered that the Federal Government took the decision having discovered that data rates are very low-priced in Nigeria, compared to other countries, including nearby African countries.

This statement is the most useless one, so we should be paying huge data as they paying in those countries? After we've paid huge money for data in the past. Something you should be proud of you using it against citizens.

I think Nigeria is done.

this is not good for businesses that run online, I just have to make more use of the wi-fi at my place of work at least 1500 deducted from my salary every month will be put to good use.
