The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on Tuesday criticised Starlink’s recent data tariff increase, stating that the decision was implemented without regulatory approval.
The NCC Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka, made this known on Tuesday.
Mr Muoka stated that following this contravention, the NCC has begun a pre-enforcement action on Starlink, a satellite internet service owned by Elon Musk.
“The decision by Starlink to unilaterally review their subscription packages upwards did not receive the approval of the Nigerian Communications Commission.
“The action of the company is in contravention of Sections 108 and 111 of the Nigerian Communications Act, 2003, and Starlink’s License Conditions regarding tariffs.
