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

Nigerians are the most gullible people on earth. For you to vote a man old enough to be your great grand father then you are are slowpoke a.k.a Zombie.

A man who has nothing on the drawing board. Key positions are not given to people with the right qualifications and you believe in this change. Go and wash your brains it's has been infected. A complete Zombie wothout certificate. It's a collective shame on all Nigerian's.

I hate been a Nigerian at this point. May God judge buhari. Because of his selfish desires he has finally driven to us to the pit.

meanwhile dollar is now 480.

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

priceaction:
GLO WILL STILL GIVE US A VERY FAIR DATA PRICE, ONLY HI-TECH THIEVES LIKE MTN, AIRTEL WILL QUICKLY OBLIGE AND AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE NEW RATES FROM 30TH, OF NOVEMBER. If you want to subscribe, you better do it today, waiting for 31st is a disaster because i know it will be more than the new rates again JUST LIKE WHAT DSTV DID. VERY SOON, YOU WILL SEE THEY WILL MAKE HUGE MONEY FROM IT AGAIN LIKE ........ they will say "if you want government to stop the extra charge" TEXT 5050 to 3322 for 50 naira and many mumu will follow send.
Besides, government is borrowing trillions outside, tasking us dry within. Do these people want to let amadioha bury their children alive?

ogaprime:


So what's the difference between the price peg and all what you have been saying right from first page

Aint there users in telcoms and blogging, aint there market share in telcoms and blogging, aint there losses and shutting down in telcom and blogging.

The reason I brought in blogging to this is that that guy made this service quality more than professionals in his niche, he fought for the survival of his blog. Those small companies should fight for their lives too and stop being "dada that's depending on his younger brother to fight for him"

AZeD1:

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

babooshka:
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.

so this is how buhari want to stop us from media.the same channel that help him.ok,media or no media 2019 here i wait.b4 i 4get do know that sphaggetti is now N250 and pure water bag is N200.

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.

From the article the OP posted

"However, in a letter by the NCC to the operators sighted by our correspondent, the commission stated, “This rate will subsist pending the finalisation of the study on the determination of cost-based pricing for retail broadband and data services in Nigeria.

“In order to provide a level playing field for all operators in the industry, small operators and new entrants to acquire market share and operate profitably, small operators and new entrants are hereby exempted from the price floor for data services.”

It added, “For the avoidance of doubt a small operator is one that has less than 7.5 per cent market share and a new entrant is an operator that has operated less than three years in the market."

That doesn't mean you should not fight for your right

Do you need a license to start blogging?

“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"......Which kain low-priced? For N4,000 monthly Airtel Kenya is giving me 400mins to all networks in Kenya, 2000sms to all networks and 3GB of data! Even when the data is exhausted one can still access the internet till the one month expires, at least l regularly Skype with 0MB!

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

Petition in Nigeria? OYO is your case! Sorry, it's not me just the system. They don't care about any petition, they're not answerable to the masses so what's the point dear? Our power no dey ever pass social media...na only mouth Nigerians get and that's why the leaders are not answerable to anyone but themselves.

NairaMaster1:


Welcome to Nigeria where the executive arm has monopolised corruption. So bad. This is a crime against the foolish masses.

Great, but it was not stated that, any operator complained to NCC.

If you see where that is stated, please show me. You see to be inferring that since NCC is set to protect the small players, they must have complained.

When NCC removed the seal , last October, they clearly stated that it was experimental
