In a statement signed by the Commission’s Director of Public Affairs,Tony Ojobo, the NCC determines that the Termination Rates for voice services provided by new entrants and small operators in Nigeria, irrespective of the originating network, shall be N6.40k from 1st April, 2013; N5.20 from April 1, 2014; and N3.90 from April 1, 2015.

Number portability, reduced sms tariff and now reduced interconnection rate for voice. NCC i hail thee ooh! But i think more should be done in monitoring Quality of service and delivery from these providers especially for Data cos some Telcos are definately going to compromise with cheaper, non reliable technologies (as being experienced already), to maximise profit. |
