NCC to Revise Mobile Termination Rates for Telecoms
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is commencing a review to determine new mobile termination rates (MTR) for the telecom sector, expected to conclude within four months. This initiative aims to shape the pricing model for voice communication services in Nigeria.
The NCC's competitive tariff unit, led by Omotayo Moham, is organizing stakeholder consultations to gather data and assess the impact of the current interconnect regime, which was last reviewed in 2018. KPMG, represented by Oluwol Adelokun, is collaborating with the NCC on this project, focusing on the regulatory framework for wholesale and retail pricing components.
Gbenga Adebayo, chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), emphasized the necessity of this review to align with current microeconomic realities and facilitate effective regulation in a rapidly evolving market.
