The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) has fined four Global System for Mobile Communications operators

– MTN, Etisalat, Airtel and Globacom for delivering poor Quality of Services in the months of March and April.

In a statement made available to newsmen on Saturday in Lagos, the NCC said the four GSM operators are to pay a cumulative sum of N1.17bn.
The regulatory body said MTN and Etisalat were to pay N360m each, Airtel would pay N270m, while Globacom attracted a penalty of N180m.
The statement reads:

“All the operators are to pay the penalties on or before May 21, 2012 or be liable to payment of additional N2.5 million per day for as long as the contravention persists.”
“The penalties are as a result of the contravention of the provisions of the Quality of Service Regulation by the NCC.”
“The operators failed to meet with the minimum standard of quality of service, including the key performance indicators.”

One of the commentates said the network provider should pay the fine to subscribers because they are the ones who suffered for  the poor network and inconveniences. I totally agree do you?
