Upwards Subscription Package Review: Starlink Has Contravened Sections 108 And 111 Of NCA 2003

Upwards Subscription Package Review: Starlink Has Contravened Sections 108 And 111 Of NCA 2003

OpenLife Nigeria reports that the decision by Starlink to unilaterally review its subscription packages upwards did not receive the approval of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

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.
This statement was signed by Reuben Muoka, Director, Public Affairs.
