The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) announced that it has issued regulatory summons against Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) for contravening the country’s Communications Act.
Portugal Telecom owns a 34% stake in MTC, Namibia’s biggest mobile company, while the government owns the rest of the shares.
CRAN said regulatory offences arose from the introduction of promotional data bundles in December last year that saw customers deducted money without their consent.
“The summons will be dealt with as per the procedure laid out in the Communications Act and the public will be informed of the outcome once the process has been finalised,” said Hilma Hitula acting chief executive officer, CRAN in Windhoek.
MTC spokesperson Tim Ekandjo could not be immediately reached for a comment.
