In a recent public notice, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has warned that Globacom subscribers may face restrictions on making calls to MTN lines due to unresolved interconnect charges. The notice, signed by Reuben Muoka, Director of the Public Affairs Department, disclosed that the NCC granted partial approval for disconnecting Globacom from MTN Nigeria Communications Plc.
Globacom was given an opportunity to respond to MTN's application and present its case, but after examining the circumstances, the NCC concluded that Globacom lacks sufficient justification for non-payment of interconnect charges. The notice specifies that, after a 10-day period from the notice date, Globacom subscribers will no longer be able to initiate calls to MTN, although they can still receive calls. The partial disconnection allows for inbound calls to the Globacom network to continue.
