Subscribers on the platform of telecommunication giant Globacom may soon be unable to make calls to MTN lines owing to unresolved interconnection payments.
The Nigerian Communications Commission announced this on Monday in a public notice signed by Reuben Muoka, Director, Public Affairs Department.
It added that the commission gave partial clearance to the disconnection of the network from MTN Nigeria Communications Plc.
The notification states in part, “Globacom was notified of MTN’s application 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 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.”
It added, “The partial disconnection, however, will allow in-bound calls to the network.”
