The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has initiated a review of findings from a study on the level of competition in the telecoms industry conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC). Dr. Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, emphasized the importance of the review in identifying key challenges, protecting smaller operators, and preventing market power from stifling effective competition.
Speaking at a stakeholder forum in Lagos, Maida highlighted that insights from telecom operators' feedback would be crucial in enhancing the study's analysis and evidence-gathering process. The preliminary findings, informed by responses to surveys and a Request for Information (RFI) sent to licensees and stakeholders, underscore the NCC's belief that effective competition in telecoms extends beyond market shares and licensed operators.
It involves evaluating market concentration, barriers to entry and expansion, control over essential infrastructure, market conduct, and consumer choice.
