Here it is, what Nigerians have been waiting for! Do you know you can sack that snobbish teleco network service provider of yours? The service is now democratic! Get details by following the link below. Let’s have your comment in the comment box under the story.
Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) and operators of Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) services today flag-off Mobile Number Portability (MNP) scheme to bring about a telecom democratic environment.
MNP makes it possible for a subscriber to migrate from one network – may be due to poor services – to another which he/she feels can offer better services, without losing his/her original phone number.
More than 110 million mobile phone users in the country can change from one network to another and still retain their numbers.
Mrs. Omobola Johnson, minister of Communications Technology, flagged off the MNP project as special guest of honour, while top echelon of the Nigerian Communications Commission and telecommunications industry operators and stakeholders were also be part of the event
Johnson said number portability means that subscribers have a choice and hopefully it would increase competition in the industry
”That doesn’t stop the quality of service issue because we have a nationwide quality of service issue at this moment. We are doing a number other things to work on quality of service issues, making it easier for our network operators to rollout infrastructure without the bottlenecks of multiple taxes and multiple regulation, the cost of Right of Way (RoW), the vandalisation of ICT infrastructures among others.{fcomments on}
