ATCON Urges Review of Starlink Operations in Nigeria Following NCC Sanctions

The Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) has called for a comprehensive review of Starlink’s operations in Nigeria after the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) sanctioned the company for implementing unapproved subscription price increases.

ATCON emphasizes the need for fair regulations to ensure a level playing field for both local and foreign telecom operators, promoting healthy competition in Nigeria’s telecommunications sector. The association advocates for policies that protect local operators and foster innovation.

As new players like Starlink enter the market, stakeholders stress the importance of transparency and compliance with regulatory standards to maintain market integrity and protect consumers. The ongoing discussions will shape how Starlink and other telecom companies navigate these challenges in Nigeria.
