This is the first time an action by the NCC hasn't made sense to me. What went wrong? (it seems the chairman was replaced 3 months ago)

Wicked people in the high places of the earth.

The Owner of the Sceptre is here.

Fear and tremble!!!

udy821:
This is the reason they want us to believe : NCC says the directive is “in order to provide a level playing field for all operators in the industry [allowing] small operators and new entrants to acquire market share and operate profitably. Small operators and new entrants are hereby exempted for the price floor for data services.”

To clear up any confusion that customers might have concerning this issue, NCC says, “For the avoidance of doubt a small operator is one that has less than 7.5 percent market share and a new entrant is an operator that has operated less than three years in the market.”

What is the NCC driving at? Well, for one, we know that it is trying to protect small operators like Smile, Spectranet and Ntel. Their major USP for entering into the market was 4G LTE data services and now that the big telcos have also joined 4G gang, things are not looking good for them. Also, the NCC issued a much-overlooked caveat when they withdrew the price floor last year. The Commission had stated that it could restore the price floor anytime it observed distortion in the market http://techcabal.com/2016/11/29/nigerians-data-price-hike-this-december/

This is plenty English and it doesn't even flow..
Go back and cancel

If they like, they shud increase it by 90%. We gonna buy it. Internet is sweet.

According to onatisi, by the time our neck long like rope we go beg for PDP

They want to use that mean to stop our dear mmm

So this administration comes onboard, amidst numerous promises of making Nigeria better,they increased fuel prices we couldn't do much to stop it,they brought up policies that weakened the currency,making a dollar almost 500,we took it, food and essential commodities skyrocketed in prices,we groaned but took it anyways,as if all these ain't enough, THEY WANT TO INCREASE THE PRICE OF INTERNET DATA TO ABOUT 3000 FOR 1.5gb..
PERHAPS TO SHUT DOWN THE VOICE OF NIGERIANS WAILING IN THE CYBER SPACE....
This is UNACCEPTABLE...

agabaI23:
I am convinced that the data rate increase ordered by Buhari through NCC is deliberately meant to reduce access to internet for ordinary Nigerians so that the influence of social media on Buhari and his co-travellers will be limited.

By my own estimation, at least 50% of internet users will not be able to subscribe regularly as before and at least 20% may stop subscribing entirely for social media purposes.

If these people are cut of from the internet, they will be starved of authentic info and will not be able to post info as fast as before. They will depend on adulterated information coming from the compromised media houses.

Remember that Lai Mohammed had in different occasions in the past complained about the influence of the social media on the image of Buhari's government. Why are they after the same platform they rode to Aso Rock?

They have introduced the data tax through the back door and we are just watching them....Nigerians sorry ooo

Sorry Nigerians. We warned you but you would not listen.

clap for yourself after stealing my post.
#Fake you

OK

modath:


My boiling point is a bit high (if not NL crazies for don make person tear cloth )but that post got up there real quick... some things should never be said.

I have always been amazed at how you manage to put up so well with all the bs. So, on seeing your response, I was like, "hollup, is that really mo?!"

Could have sworn someone hacked into your account.

Some people can sha see sense in nonsense!

OPCNAIRALAND:


Agaba,
Buhari has not hidden his intent to diversify revenue stream. It was part of his message during campaign and before election, it was included in his first speech after swearing in. One of the focused areas for revenue stream is FIRS.

Regulations, whether through NCC or any other agents are designed to observe standards, enforce compliance and derive levies through licensing. An agent body will work in tandem with service operators to address needs necessary to maintain standards.

On the subscriber part, social media is not a need. You do not suffer any loss of quality living if your social media tools are taken away. So it is individual preference and choice to use facebook, use tweeter, use nairaland and other multimedia tools. It is in same grade of utility as owning a car. The government has not blocked accessibility to social media. Everyone that wants to use it can if they will afford the price of using it.

Your input is misguided. What you ought to advocate is a close monitoring of the extra income generated from increased pricing and how it translates into improved coverage, quality and delivery for the consumer. Also, if the FIRS is able to report on the increase in taxed income of service providers and benefit to society.

Consumer advocates collect data at the user input level and use it to influence policies that will shape behaviors of providers. Be a good consumer advocate!

Keep quiet you paid hack

Bros don't worry, we shall go back to the Era of cheats and Twerks. Just a year ago 200mb goes for about N1000 so no big deal. Just get your rooted phone ready.

Alas, I'm not the only one seeing this conspiracy..

You need heavy duty medication, lagactyl for short term rehab & Jesus for total cure!!!

Social media users sabotaging
Buhari’s efforts – Lai Mohammed



dailypost.ng/2016/11/06/social-media-users-sabotaging-buharis-efforts-lai-mohammed/

That could be it. Remember the social media bill.

They've still not figured the best way to gag and stamp out the social media rampage.

Their action is just deliberate and wicked. It further shows that the Government at whatever level have not the interest of the people at heart. Its just normal business for them. Wicked, this will make me hate buhari

Buhari is a clown.

Hmmmmmm even on line banking will be affected why say we should go for it anyway na der style

wristbangle:


Don't mind the OP though some of the reasons in his write up is valid.

Here is the thing: CDMA Operators (Smile, Spectranet, etc) and GSM operators(MTN, GLO, AIRTEL, etc) had a meeting with NCC last month whereby CDMA operators complained that they are loosing more subscribers base to GSM operators (major players)

What NCC suppose to do is not pegging price at ridiculously high amount because it is obvious at this price, customers and some top GSM operators will be the major looser. I mean this is a competitive market where they suppose to hype their game to attract customers instead of wailing like babies.

These CDMA operators are crooks ripping off customers. How can you sell your router device for a ridiculous amount when the same device can be bought at affordable price in GSM outlets.

It's not as if their network is fast as their 4G is not different from GSM 3G network mode. Just look at Glo 4G with download speed of 6.5MB/sec while theirs hardly achieve 1MB/sec.

NCC on their own are corporate thieves looking for a way to get more money to their pockets hence form alliance with this current incompetent government. They believe Nigerians will adjust because we fail to complain/protest about fuel hike, tax on intl passport, tax on ATM withdrawal, etc. I hope to see us protesting by deliberately not subscribing for data or take to the streets to protest at NCC office nationwide against this wickedness.

If this true. Then permit me to type that NCC are been influence by telecom co-operation.

Nigeria which way.

TRUTHaDDICT:
The heat is two thousand much on them but there's no where for them to hide because I've already slashed our feeding timetable in order to meet up
They ain't seeing anything yet.

@OP
Not a far-fetched theory, as a reprisal for the failed social media control bill

agabaI23:

Hahahahaha
Bros be careful oo
See as recession induced half salary broke up a home. https://www.channelstv.com/2016/11/29/recession-half-salary-broke-marriage-15-years-osun/
Hope your wife is in agreement for the feeding time table adjustment

She's such understandable darling, She's willing to let go anything so long as it guarantees Buhari's flopp. So she gat no problem and I love her so much

Modath e kaale

So, al thez papas in power do not know how affordable data is reducing crime, & maintaining peace as people focus more on the internet. They jst want to use force to oppress us by all means....& i'm sure wen we take our eyes off the internet, they will neva find 'peace'

malton:


Hahahahhaha. I couldn't help laughing so hard.

I've never seen u this angry before. You must have had it up to here.

Some people sef.

It is well.

Why are you trying so had to derail this thought provoking article I said the same thing op just reiterated earlier today, this move is a wicked attempt by the powers that be, to emasculate, disenfranchise and deny the masses access to the social media in order to stem the tide of vitriolic attacks by the increasingly frustrated and dehumanized Nigerians. This sadists have already intimidated the print and electronic media into submission, now they are moving over to the social media to complete the rout. It shall not be well with any individual or group that brought these wizards to power. I have a hunch that this is the brain child of Lie Mohamed! God will punish all of them!

Hmmm this yeye government self

#Say No ! To NCC Extortion !

Seun:
This is the first time an action by the NCC hasn't made sense to me. What went wrong? (it seems the chairman was replaced 3 months ago)

Oga, this cannot make sense because it is nothing but witchcraft, voodoo and sorcery ochestrated to shut out the masses. How many people can afford 3k for 1gb in this recession You better add your voice because nairaland, linda ikeji blog and several others are going to withness a drastic reduction in traffic if this plan is allowed to take place!

And somewhere on the front page I read that that poor excuse of a father, husband and president is watching while his prospective son-in-law spends ₦47.1 million naira on handbags and 30 exotic cars for that his witchcraft-endtime-daughter, Zahra, in this recession period. In a country where majority can't afford 2 good meals in a day.


And you people want me to believe that somebody doesn't need to format that Buhari's brain. Because I'm very sure his brain is paining him.
