NCC withdraws sanction threat against Starlink

The Nigerian Communications Commission has withdrawn its recently issued press statement regarding the operations of Starlink, a satellite internet service provider.

In a brief message addressed to media outlets on Tuesday, the NCC acknowledged that the statement was released in error, urging editors and journalists to retract any related publications.

Recall that The commission’s  Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka, had announced plans to take enforcement measures against  Starlink, for raising its subscription prices in Nigeria without the regulator’s approval.
