Telecommunications services company, Etisalat Nigeria has approached the court to stop MTN Nigeria from using the
800 megahertz (MHZ) spectrum following the latter's acquisition of Visafone.
The plaintiff said that allowing the defendant to use the spectrum would further entrech MTN's dominance in the retail data services market.
Etisalat Nigeria confirmed the legal action in a statement issued by its Head of Media, Chineze Amanfo yesterday,
“You will recall that MTN Nigeria was declared dominant by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in 2013 and remains dominant in the wholesale leased line and retail voice markets.
“The use of the 800MHz spectrum to deploy broadband services ahead of its competitors, particularly those who prior to MTNs purchase of Visafone, held similar spectrum bands as MTN, will further entrench MTN’s dominance in the Nigerian telecommunications sector."
