NCC Cracks Down On Starlink: Begins Pre-Enforcement Action Over Unauthorized Price Hike

The decision by Starlink to unilaterally review its subscription packages upwards did not receive the approval of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

According to NCC, the action of the company is in contravention of Sections 108 and 111 of the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA), 2003, and Starlink’s Licence Conditions regarding tariffs.

To this end, the Commission in a statement signed by Mr. Reuben Muoka Director, Public Affairs said the commission has commenced pre-enforcement action on the licensee on the 3rd of October, 2024.
