Globacom subscribers may be unable to make calls to MTN lines soon due to the non-settlement of interconnect charges.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), on Monday, disclosed that it would disconnect Globacom subscribers from making calls to MTN lines due to the non-settlement of interconnect charges
NCC, in a public notice signed by the Director of the Public Affairs Department, Reuben Muoka, stated that the commission granted partial approval for the disconnection of Globacom from MTN Nigeria Communications Plc.
The notice partly reads, “Globacom was notified of the application made by MTN and was given the opportunity to comment and state its case.
“The Commission, having examined the application and circumstances surrounding the indebtedness, determined that Globacom does not have sufficient or justifiable reason for non-payment of the interconnect charges.”
10 days settlement ultimatum
The NCC revealed that at the expiration of 10 days from this notice, “subscribers of Globacom will no longer be able to make calls to MTN but will be able to receive calls.”
It added, “The partial disconnection, however, will allow in-bound calls to the Globacom network.”
