NCC asks MTN to Disconnect Globacom over Interconnect Debt

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has approved a partial disconnection of Globacom by MTN over the former’s refusal to pay interconnect debt.

The partial disconnection means that Globacom’s subscribers will not be able to make calls to any MTN number. However, Glo customers can receive inbound calls from MTN customers.

The NCC disclosed this in a public notice issued on Monday. According to the telecom regulator, Globacom has been given a 10-day notice starting from January 8, after which the disconnection will be implemented.
