NCC has asked MTN, Airtel and IHS to disconnect, on a partial basis, services to Glo, Ntel (MNOs) and interconnect exchange points including Breeze, Exchange, Solid, Medallion and Niconnx.
The implication of this development is that over 35 millions of subscribers would soon start to experience service disruptions.
The affected operators have between the next 10 and 21 days, starting from 18th Dec to make amends or risk disconnections.
The Commission also said it has approved the Disconnection of Ntel and Glo from the facilities of IHS in accordance with Section 103 of the Nigerian Communications Act 2003, and the Guidelines on Procedure for Granting Approval to Disconnect.
The Commission informed that 9Mobile, Smile and Swift are also to be disconnected from IHS facilities and ATC Wireless Infrastructure Limited.
