Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced plans to bar Globacom subscribers from making calls to MTN lines soon, due to the non-settlement of interconnect charges.

The NCC disclosed this on Monday in a public notice signed by Director, Public Affairs Department, Reuben Muoka.

Globacom was notified of the application made by MTN and was given the opportunity to comment and state its case.

The Commission, having examined the application and circumstances surrounding the indebtedness, determined that Globacom does not have sufficient or justifiable reason for non-payment of the interconnect charges, the statement partly read.

The NCC revealed that at the expiration of 10 days from the date of this notice, the Globacom subscribers would not be able to make calls to MTN lines.

The partial disconnection, however, will allow in-bound calls to the Globacom network, the statement added. (Nigerian Tribune)
