The non-payment of interconnect charges may result in Globacom subscribers losing the ability to call MTN lines soon.
This possibility was disclosed on Monday by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) through a communique issued by the Director of the Public Affairs Department, Reuben Muoka.
According to the PUNCH, the notice mentioned that the commission has given partial approval for the disconnection of Globacom from MTN Nigeria Communications Plc.
“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,” the notice reads.
The NCC revealed that at the expiration of 10 days from the date of this notice, “subscribers of Globacom will no longer be able to make calls to MTN but will be able to receive calls.
“The partial disconnection, however, will allow in-bound calls to the Globacom network,” the notice added.
