NCC Bans MTN's New Tariff Plan 'TruTalk+'

The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has directed MTN Nigeria
to cancel it's latest tariff plan 'TruTalk+' or face serious sactions.

The new tariff with daily access fee of N5, allows subscribers to call
all networks at 11k/sec and N20k/sec to UK, USA, India, Canada and
China.

"The Commission's investigations showed MTN Nigeria Communications Ltd
has already configured this tariff plan on their network and has
therefore implemented same" without the appropriate regulatory
approval. It said the action contravenes section 108 (1) of the
Nigeria Communications Act 2003," the commission's Director of Public
Relations, Tony Ojobo, says in a statement.

"Consequent upon the above, the Commission thereby directs MTN Nigeria
Communications Ltd to immediately discontinue this Tariff Plan and all
associated advertisements regarding same or otherwise face regulatory
sanctions accordingly" he added.
