The Director, Public Affairs of NCC, Reuben Muoka, said this in a brief statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He said the decision by Starlink to unilaterally review their subscription packages upwards did not receive the approval of the NCC.<\/p>\n

The Director also added that the action of the company was in contravention of Sections 108 and 111 of the Nigerian Communications Act, 2003, and Starlink\u2019s License Conditions regarding tariffs.<\/p>\n

Mouka said that the Commission commenced pre-enforcement action on the licensee on the 3rd of October, 2024<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company\u2019s decision to adjust its prices without approval undermines regulatory stability in the telecommunications sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will take appropriate enforcement measures against any such actions by licensees,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
