The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has disclosed that the decision by Starlink to unilaterally review its subscription packages upwards did not receive regulatory approval.

NaijaOnPoint.com.ng (NOP) reports NCC made the disclosure in a statement released on Tuesdya by its Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka.

“We were surprised that the company jumped the gun by announcing price changes after filing a request to the Commission seeking approval for price adjustment for which the Commission was yet to communicate a decision.

“The action of the company appears to be a contravention of Sections 108 and 111 of the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003, and Starlink’s Licence Conditions regarding tariffs.

“The Commission will, therefore, take appropriate enforcement measures against any action by a licensee that is capable of eroding the regulatory stability of the telecommunications industry,” the statement reads.
